How-To Configure the Dentrix Smart Image Bridge

To help setup integration between Dentrix and SOTA Cloud

1. Make sure that Smart Image for Dentrix and SOTA Connector is installed/up to date.

   1. If it’s already installed: You can just hit the cog in the Smart Image tab. From there you can see “Check for Updates”.

   2. To find the Smart Image installer and the SOTA Connector, there is usually a shared folder: DTX Common Folder>Installs>Smart Image

      1. If you can’t find the shared folder, you’ll need to get access to their server computer.

   3. Once there, you’ll be to find the Smart Image install and the SOTA Connector install.

      

   4. Make sure to close out Dentrix. Install Smart Image and then install the SOTA Connector.

   5. Once the installs are finished, open up Dentrix again and you should see a cog on the bottom right when accessing the Smart Image tab when in a patient’s chart.

      

   6. Click it. Another window will pop open. There should be a SOTA tab there now.

   7. In that tab, it will ask you for the instance name.

      1. For example, https://sb1.sotadevices.com, the instance name would be sb1

         

   8. Once you save that, the SOTA button at the top should work correctly now.

----

After choosing the Bridge ID, make sure to click "Save Bridge Options"! Feel free to click OK afterwards.
