Visual User Options
Use the Visuals tab of your User Options to personalize the graphics and colors of your screens, and optimize using Edge Cloud on a standard computer monitor, tablet, or touch screen device. Certain options may be selected for you automatically when Edge Cloud detects that you are using a touch screen. In addition, the Visual User Options tab is where you choose whether to show a picture of the currently signed in operator at the top of your Edge Cloud screen
Open the User Options window from the File, Home, Patient, or Scheduler ribbon bar. Then choose the Visuals tab.
The settings marked with an asterisk ( * ) are specific to this workstation: The remaining options are specific to you - other users that log onto this computer may have other settings. In addition, when Edge Cloud detects a system with minimal performance capability, certain visual options may be set automatically to bring performance to an acceptable level.
Use the Theme / Layout settings of your Visual User Options to set up the graphic design and color scheme for your Edge Cloud screens, and apply a layout that optimizes the Edge Cloud experience for the type of device you are using.
Template
- Choose a graphic design for your Edge Cloud screens.
Color Scheme - Choose the colors to use with your selected template. If you selected the Default template, you do not have a color scheme choice.
Layout - Use the drop down menu to apply the layout that matches the type of device you are using: A standard computer monitor (Default mode), a Tablet, or a Touch Screendevice. After making your selection, click Apply to save your layout choice, and optimize the remaining Visual option settings for the selected layout. Any settings you have modified are overwritten by the layout's settings. If you select a layout, then click Ok to exit the Visual User Options window without clicking Apply, the layout changes will not take effect.
Use the Information Panels settings of your Visual User Options to optimize your dashboard and patient folder Home page for standard monitors, tablets, and touch screen devices.
Patient Folder Panel Mode - Use this option to determine how the information panels of your patient folder Home page look and behave. More...
Normal - With Normal mode enabled, you use the Panels section of the Patient ribbon bar to select which information appears on the patient folder Home page: The more panels you select, the smaller the space available for each panel. You double-click panel headings to toggle expanded / normal view as needed. This mode is enabled by default when you apply either the Default or Touch Screen layout.
Single Expanded - With the Single Expanded mode enabled in your Visual User Options, Normal View is not available. Instead, one information panel is always expanded on your screen, and all remaining panels are listed at the right side of the window. You click or tap to choose the panel to expand. This mode is enabled by default when you apply the Tablet layout.
Dashboard Panel Mode - Use this option to determine how the widgets on your Edge Cloud Dashboard look and behave. More...
Normal - With Normal mode enabled, your selected widgets appear as panels on your Dashboard: The more widgets you have enabled, the smaller the space available for each panel. You double-click panel headings to toggle expanded / normal view as needed. This mode is enabled automatically when you apply either the Default or Touch Screen layout.
Single Expanded - With Single Expanded mode enabled, one widget panel is always expanded on your Dashboard, and the remaining active widgets are listed as buttons at the side of the screen. You then click or tap to choose the widget panel to expand. This mode is enabled automatically when you apply the Tablet layout.
Collapsed Panel Alignment - Use this option to choose whether the minimized panel buttons on your Dashboard and patient folder Home page appear at the top, bottom, right, or left of the maximized panel. Applying a layout does not affect this option.
Animate Panels - Use this option to enable / disable animation of your Dashboard and patient folder Home page panels. When enabled, the information panels seem to glide into place as you add, remove, expand, or collapse them. Applying a layout does not affect this option.
Use the Miscellaneous settings of your Visual User Options to enable / disable the operator and gender identification and render in software settings.
Show Operator Photo - Choose whether to include a photo of the current operator at the top of your Edge Cloud screen. See "Operator Editor" for details about uploading photos. Applying a layout does not affect this option. 
Display Gender Symbol - Choose to show / hide the gender identity icon on the patient folder header. 
Render in Software - (Machine setting.) If your Compliance Animations and Edge Animations videos have a strange look to them, such as garbled artifacts showing on an image, enable the Render in Software option in the settings window. This will render your videos directly in the software, rather than on your monitor's video card, and produce a cleaner-looking result. However, when this option is enabled, you may have a choppier video presentation. Applying a layout does not affect this option.
Touch Screen / Accessibility Section
Use the Touch Screen / Accessibility settings of your Visual User Options to enable / disable features designed to optimize the Edge Cloud experience on touch screen devices. All of these options are enabled automatically when you apply either the Tablet or Touch Screen layout, and disabled automatically when you apply the Default layout.
Larger Menus and Buttons - With either the Tablet or Touch Screen layout active, enable this option to apply the Touch Screen ribbon bar template, as well as enlarge the font size of certain drop down menus to make viewing and tapping the screen easier. If the Default layout is active, enabling this option enlarges certain menu fonts, but does not change the ribbon bar. (You can apply the Touch Screen ribbon bar template separately, without enlarging the drop down menu font size, by using the Customize Ribbon tool.)
Touch Friendly Tx. Findings - With any layout active, enable this option to include the Edit Only Findings link on the Findings page of the patient folder. You can use the Edit Only Findings link to remove the left-hand section of the window (the treatment date, start origin, treatment coordinator and notes section), and provide additional screen space for making the categories and responses larger. This makes it easier to add and edit findings with a touch screen device.
