Applies To: DVMAX v8.5 - DVMAX v8.7

Purpose: DVMAX Anywhere allows clients to electronically sign DVMAX word processing documents. This document outlines the steps you must take to configure the images folder path to ensure that the signed documents are visible in the DVMAX Client application.

These steps must be followed prior to using the signature capture feature in DVMAX Anywhere. If these steps are not followed, images attached in DVMAX Anywhere will not be visible in the DVMAX Client application.


Verify Images Path

**If you have not attached images to DVMAX Client patient records in the past, please verify the path to the images folder is mapped correctly:



Set Image Path for Anywhere

  1.  Log into DVMAX Client application with a user that has access to System Constants
  2. Access Advanced Settings
    1. Hold down Shift Key / From the Section pull-down choose System Constants
    2. Read the Alert / Click I Understand
  3. The Advanced Settings window will open.
    1. In the filter box, search for px.serverImagesPath. If the setting exists, click in the Value field and enter the path to the images folder on the server (See information below on finding the path on both a Machintosh and a Windows server).
    2. If the setting does not exist, click the Plus Icon in the bottom left corner of the window

              c. In the Key field enter px.serverImagesPath. The type field should remain Text. The Value will be the path to the images folder on the server*. Click OK to save the information.  

*When entering the path to the images folder, you must enter a path to the folder located on the server and not the path to the mapped drive on your local workstation. The default location for the DVMaxImagesFolder is in the DVMAXDatabaseFiles folder.

Machintosh Server – On the server computer locate your DVMaxImagesFolder, right-click on the folder, and choose Get Info. The path will be located under General. Using the screen shot below, the path to enter in step three would be - Machintosh HD:Users:ablanchard:Documents:DVMAXDataBaseFiles:DVMaxImagesFolder: (Make sure to include the colon at the end)

Windows Server – On the server computer locate your DVMaxImagesFolder. The path will be in the Navigation bar at the top of the window. Using the screen shot below, the path to enter in step three would be –C:\DVMaxDatabaseFiles\DVMaxImagesFolder\ (Make sure to include the final \ at the end of the path)

NOTE: If the Images folder is not installed on the server this setting will need to be the UNC path (Make sure to include the final \ at the end of the path)

4. Close the Advanced Settings window
