Auto-Image Import

Auto-Image Import

Applies to: DVMAX v7.5 and higher

Purpose: DVMAX has an auto-image import function that will automatically pull attachments into the appropriate patient record. This document outlines how to setup this feature in DVMAX and how to name the images so they will be added to correct patient records.

To Enable Automated Image Importing:

  • From the File menu on the DVMAX main screen, select Preferences.
  • From the Preferences dialog, select the Assorted Preferences tab.
  • Under Assorted Preferences, click Select Folder from the Image Auto-Import area.
  • Select a folder to check for images. This cannot be the same folder as your DVMAX Images folder. If you try to select the same folder as the current DVMAX Images folder, you will be asked to make a different selection.
  • After you have specified an Auto-Import folder, click Check Folder for Images to enable the auto-import function.
  • Close the Preferences dialog. 


Auto-Image Import File Naming Conventions

In order for images to be auto-uploaded to the correct patient record, the image must be named using the following format: PATIENTID_Filename.extension. For example, 1234_ Test.jpg, where “1234” is the patient ID, then the underscore character “_”, then the filename and the file extension (.jpg, .doc, .PDF, etc.).
