Logging in and out
When first loading Explorer Online you will be presented with a login screen. Simply enter in your username and password and click login to proceed.

Dashboard Layout
The Dashboard is the default page that will appear once you have logged into Explorer Online. The Dashboard is split into three sections, navigation menu, sidebar and the main content area.
Navigation Menu
This is the main navigation menu. The menu is dynamically built up based on what features your server has enabled and what permissions your user account has. If you're user has a menu item missing you may need to call the Helpdesk to correct your user permissions or enable a server feature.
User Menu
The User Menu is the menu in the top right hand corner. This will display the server you've logged into and also which provider you selected at login. When you click on the menu a drop down will appear with menu options related to your user account.
Sidebar
The Sidebar is a feature that allows you to access and manage your patient documents. The Sidebar is split into two sections, Patients and Documents.
If you're using Explorer Online on a smaller screen you have the option to collapse the sidebar by clicking the collapse icon 
found on the left side of the Patients header. You can then expand the Sidebar again by clicking the 
icon.
Patients
The Patients section of the Sidebar consists of individual folders which contains patient documents. The folders will list each unique patient that has a document for that folder. The count to the right is the amount of patients in the folder and not the amount of combined documents.
Hovering over a folder will reveal a grid icon (
). This button will load all the documents in that folder into a grid. From there you can then perform bulk actions on the documents such as printing or forwarding to another provider.
To refresh the contents of the folders simply click the refresh button (
) in the title bar.
| Loaded Patients | Contains any patients you've done a lookup on or retrieved all documents for. |
