We understand that as a dentist, efficiency is key – especially when it comes to charting!

Every dentist is different, and here at Dentally we have upgraded the tools at your fingertips to maximise the customisation features available to you.

These updates aim to provide you with more control and clarity than ever before by introducing a new settings icon (cog icon ⚙️) to the tabs on your chart. Your new ‘Charting Preferences’ screen offers a trove of options to suit your specific needs without affecting anyone else using the platform.

📝 Please note: these features will be rolling out across practices, week commencing Monday 6th May. So if you cannot see these settings yet, please don't worry, you will soon!

Let’s break down each new setting to see how you can customise your workflows ✨

‘Locked Chart’ to help you stay focused

The ‘Locked Chart’ feature lets you keep the chart anchored on screen, ensuring it's always in view. Alternatively, unlocking the chart allows you to free up space for more detailed note-taking.

‘Combined chart’ for streamlined efficiency

By using the ‘Combined base and treatment chart’ setting, previously known as ‘Condensed Charting’, you can consolidate the patient's base chart and treatment lines onto the same row, reducing clutter and enhancing readability on your chart screen.

Proposed treatments are distinctly highlighted until completed, offering clarity at a glance. Read more about combining your chart here on the help centre.

‘Hover Charting’ your customisable assistant

One of the standout updates of this release is the revamped ‘Hover Charting’ functionality. Not only can you enable ‘Hover Charting’ from this menu, but you now have the power to configure which treatments are suggested when you hover over a tooth!

You can choose from two different selection options to ensure maximum customisation:

• Automated: Dentally intelligently suggests the treatments most commonly charted by you, saving you time and streamlining your workflow. It takes time for Dentally to learn your charting habits and these suggestions can change depending on what you are charting most frequently.
• 🆕 Manual Override: Take full control by individually selecting which treatments appear and in what order, ensuring efficiency and predictability in your workflow.

Now is the perfect time to explore these new features and make them work for you. Experiment with the settings, discover new efficiencies, and let Dentally transform the way you approach charting. Simply navigate to a patient's chart and select the new 'Chart Preferences’ icon ⚙️

Have feedback or ideas for further improvements? You can use the red ‘Give Feedback’ button at the bottom of our chart screen to send notes straight to our development team.

Let's create the future in practice together!
