      Managing Your Device List in SOTA Hub

      The Device List feature in SOTA Hub allows you to control which hardware devices appear in the dropdown menu when capturing images in SOTA Cloud.

      Why Use Device List Management?

      • Simplified Interface: Show only relevant devices in SOTA Cloud's capture dropdown
      • Improved Workflow: Reduce confusion by hiding unused hardware options
      • Better User Experience: Faster device selection with fewer irrelevant choices

      Step-by-Step Instructions

      Accessing Device List Settings

      1. Right-click on SOTA Hub in your system tray or desktop
      2. Select "Settings" from the context menu
      3. Click the "General" tab in the Settings window
      4. Select "Device List" from the available options

      Managing Your Devices

      1. Review the device list that appears
      2. Enable devices you actively use by checking the boxes next to them
      3. Disable unused devices by unchecking their boxes
      4. Click "Apply" or "Save" to confirm your changes

      Important Notes

      TWAIN Device Limitation

      Please be aware: This setting does not control TWAIN devices. All TWAIN-compatible devices will automatically appear in the SOTA Cloud dropdown menu regardless of these settings. This includes:

      • Printers
      • Scanners
      • Other non-dental imaging devices

      If you see unexpected devices in your SOTA Cloud dropdown (like office printers or document scanners), these are likely TWAIN devices that cannot be filtered through this setting.

      Best Practices

      • Regularly review your device list when adding or removing hardware
      • Test your settings by checking the dropdown in SOTA Cloud after making changes
      • Keep only essential devices enabled to maintain the cleanest interface possible
