DMS Integration

With the DMS Integration function, you can select whether your practice will create documents using Plain Text (DMS editor) or the Rich Text Editor (RTE). If you select Rich Text, the first time you access any existing DMS document using the DMS Letter Processor it will automatically be converted to Rich Text. For additional information, see the Rich Text Editor (RTE) Instructions.

If your practice uses multiple databases in CGM webPRACTICE, this information must be set up for each database and entered from within that database.

Editor Mode Select the editor type for creating DMS documents. Select Rich Text to use the Rich Text Editor (RTE), or Plain Text to use the plain text DMS editor. If you select Rich Text, the first time you access any existing DMS document using the DMS Letter Processor it will automatically be converted to Rich Text. For additional information, see the Rich Text Editor (RTE) Instructions.   1

Note: If you print labels to DOT Matrix printers and/or use Zebra label printers, these printers will not support Rich Text Editor (RTE) documents. If you have changed the DMS Integration from Plain Text to Rich Text, you should name your labels as 'Lnnnn' (the letter 'L' followed by four numbers, such as L0708). This will prevent you from being able to select them for editing and inadvertently converting them to Rich Text documents. If you want to edit one of these labels, you must select the Plain Text option before editing. Make sure you set the integration back to Rich Text when the editing is complete.
