Capricorn Configuration

Accessing the Capricorn Configuration Window
 

In some cases, the Capricorn may be configured as a service. See this guide for instructions on how to launch the Capricorn if it is set up as a service. 


Capricorn Incoming Settings

  1. Click on Integration Options.


     

  2. Set the ACK Management path to the local Import folder on the server or the network path on a workstation, that points to the server import folder.

    For example:

    Newer Versions of ZedMed

    (Capricorn installed on the Server) --> C:\Zedmed\Download\MoAcks
Or
(Capricorn installed on the Workstation) --> \\server\Zedmed\Download\MoAcks


    Older Versions of ZedMed

    (Capricorn installed on the Server) --> C:\Patients\Download\MoAcks
Or
(Capricorn installed on the Workstation) --> \\Server\Patients\Download\MoAcks


    If the folders do not exist, you must create them.


  3. Select Server Parameters from the left panel.

  4. Under the Message Output Directory (main) set the results import path.

    The path can be different depending on where the Capricorn is installed.
    For example:

    Newer Versions of ZedMed

    (Capricorn installed on the Server) --> C:\Zedmed\Download\
Or
(Capricorn installed on the Workstation) --> \\server\Zedmed\Download\


    Older Versions of ZedMed

    (Capricorn installed on the Server) --> C:\Patients\Download\
Or
(Capricorn installed on the Workstation) --> \\Server\Patients\Download\

    This is to prevent multiple companies pulling reports from the same directory.

    See Step 6b.


  4. Once the queue is added, Click the Setup button.
