SOTA Cloud: Overview of the Settings Menus

*Make sure when you are done changing anything in settings, you click the green 'Save' button in the bottom right.

Preferences:

In preferences, you have two main options, Image Preferences and Other.

Image Preferences:

• Image preview duration(s):
  This setting is for the image preview seen after acquiring an image. If you want to skip the preview, simply change this setting to 0.
• Display fullsize thumbnails:
  Toggling this on will allow SOTA Cloud to always load fullsize images even on the exam view. This can cause exams to load slower as it will be loading all full resolution images as soon as the exam is open.
• Default image size (%):
  Changes the size of the image in single image view based on the size of the viewing area.
• Automatically apply SOTA Pop:
  If this is turned on, it will apply the SOTA Pop filter to your image. The filter is applied after acquisition and can still be toggled off when viewing the image.
• Automatically keep new image after retake: Leaving this checked simply means if you retake an image, SOTA Cloud will not prompt you to select which image you would like to keep, it will use the newest image taken.

Other:

• Disable demo device in Exam View:
  This can be left off, mainly used for training or demonstration purposes
• User profile picture reminders at login:
  If on, this will prompt the user at login to add a picture for their profile.
• Prompt profile picture for bridge patients:
  If on, this will prompt you to add a picture for each patient. Recommended being left off.
• Default tooth numbering:
  Changes the default tooth numbering between U.S. Permanent, U.S. Primary, International Permanent, and International Primary.
