Managing orthodontic wires Administrators only

Wires can be assigned to treatment posts.

Before users can add wires to treatment posts, they must first be added by an administrator via the organisation settings.

Wires can be managed by doing the following:

• logging in
• clicking on the button containing their initials in the top right of the page
• clicking Settings
• clicking on Orthodontic wires in the sidebar below the Treatment posts item

A Status menu can be used to switch between Active and Archived wires.

Creating wires

To create a wire:

• click on the Add wire button
• enter a title
• click Save

Editing wires

To edit a wire:

• find the wire in the list on the wires page
• click on the dot menu for the relevant item
• click on Edit
• edit the form, and click Save

<p>
    This ensures that administrators are able to change wires as and when
    they need, without modifying treatment posts that used the wires that
    require updating.
</p>

This ensures that medical records are not modified after-the-fact.

Archiving and restoring wires

If a wire is no longer applicable to a practice, it may be archived, after which it will no longer be accessible to select on treatment posts.

To archive a wire:

• find the wire in the list on the wires page
• click on the dot menu for the relevant item
• click on Archive

A wire can be restored by using the Status menu to view archived items, and then selecting Restore from the relevant wire’s dot menu.

Similarly to how changes to wires work as per the Editing wires section, archiving wires will not affect wires that are already associated with treatment posts.

Exporting wires

Wires can be exported to CSV by doing the following:

• visit the wires page via Settings
• click the dot menu to the right of the page’s heading
• click Export to CSV

A CSV file containing a row for each wire (with id and title columns) will download.

Importing wires

Wires can be bulk-imported via CSV by doing the following:

• visit the wires page via Settings
• click the dot menu to the right of the page’s heading
• click Import via CSV
• click Choose file and select your CSV file
• click Import

The CSV file must contain id and title columns:

• id — the ID of an existing wire to update, or leave empty to create a new wire. IDs are available by exporting your existing wires first.
• title — the title of the orthodontic wire.

Once submitted, processing of your CSV will begin, and you will receive an email when the import is complete, listing which wires were created and which were updated.
