Capricorn Configuration Settings

Integration Options

In Practix the ACK folder name was set to D:\msp\resultsimport\ACKs. We need to add the same path in the ACK Management section in Capricorn shown below.
Make sure at the bottom of the panel that under Incoming Modifier, The Practix HL7 Modifier is set as shown below.

Report Scanning

In the left hand panel, Select Report Scanning.
In the Report Scanning window, set the path to create a MO-Images folder in the same folder as the ACKs folder as shown below.
Once you have typed in the path, a message window will pop up and ask if you want to create the path.
Select OK to create the path.

Message Source Exceptions

The Message Source Exceptions exclude the sending facilities that a contact sheet was established for in Practix. Otherwise all the sending facilities will be identified as being sent from Medical-Objects and not their own identity. For this example we will use Southernex Imaging.

Select Message Src Exceptions from the left hand panel of the Capricorn configuration window.
Click Add as shown above, and select Lookup Sending Facility HD. Do not use any other selection.
A new window will appear called Select Identifier.
Enter Southern and press Enter or click the Lightning Bolt to search.
Select Southernex Imaging from the display panel.
The following Message Source Exception window will appear.
Click OK to leave all the details blank.
Repeat this step for each of the Contacts that were setup in Practix (e.g. In this case QHPS (Nata 2639) and Southernex Imaging).

Server Parameters

In the left hand side panel, select Server Parameters.
Enter the Main Save Path that was entered into Practix.

In this case it was set to D:\msp\resultimport\

The configuration for Practix is now completed.
