Mobile App

[JimZ]

Don't want to crash Jordan's servers, but has anyone tried the mobile app demo version that is in 7.8? http://www.opendental.com/manual/mobile.html
Worked well on the Droid X. Thanks!

Just tried it... very clean.

I have been waiting for this! I can't wait to try it out tomorrow!

Using the app does not tax our servers at all. What's resource intensive is the synch between the dental offices and our servers that keeps our data nearly real-time.

I don't even see where I can download version 7.8? All I see is 7.6 (which I have) and 7.7 beta.

Smiles,
From inside your program, go to Help/Check for Updates/7.8.3(beta) Released 3/7/2011/Install

I hope that helps.

what about any bugs?

[jordansparks]

You mean in the main program? The usual, but we have more programmers to jump on them quickly now. So they typically only survive for a few hours once noticed.

damnit just upgraded the computers to 7.8.3 hoping to use the mobile version! didnt realize it wasnt running yet

[jordansparks]

Well, it should have been running by now, except that we've had some other big issues come along to distract us.

[enamelrod]

so does it work yet?

[jordansparks]

Yes.

im having an issue where it wont sync properly... i click sync (both full and normal) and it will still not update the data on the mobile app... it goes through the progress bar, finishes, but the "last synced" doesnt change

[jordansparks]

Added to bug list. However, I just tested it, and the data does synchronize fine. The only thing it does wrong is to not update the time showing to the user so they can see it. It's really just a minor display issue rather than any functional issue.
