Open Dental Forum

A reverse program link so to speak?

use case: We have a web dashboard that allows office staff to have a summary view of patients and daily tasks. The web dashboard is powered by Open Dental APIs and augmented by Firebase. When an Admin selects a patient to dive future into a task or issue, we'd like them to click a link which opens their local instance of Open Dental with the patient already selected.

If your web dashboard can pull off launching Notepad.exe or something similar then it should be able to launch OpenDental.exe and you would just provide it with the desired Command Line Arguments: https://www.opendental.com/manual/commandline.html
