You can email one or more individual patient images or an entire layout as part of a message you send to a patient, parent, dentist, or anyone else you choose.
Emailed Images Can Include Your Image Caption - The Image Caption set up in your Image Caption editor displays at the top of card flow layouts, card flip layouts, and maximized images. In addition, you can optionally "burn" this caption onto image layouts. and when you email, export, and merge patient images. See "General Imaging Editor" for details about the "burning" option.
You can choose to email one or more individual patient images, as well as entire image layouts.

To select multiple non-consecutive images, hold down the Ctrl key, then click each image you want to include. In addition, you can click Select All from the ribbon bar (or press Ctrl-A on your keyboard) to include all images in the layout.
