Export Settings

Introduction

It is crucial to define Export Settings so scan files are generated and available for download using Align generic API.

If no Export Settings are defined a default set of settings will be applied so scan files are generated and available for download. To generate the files using different Export Settings, the user will have to use the 'on demand' option available on myitero.com portal.

Labs:

  • Export settings are defined per account.

Clinics:

  • Export Settings are defined per each doctor. (Not per account)

Configuration Options

Export Settings for generic API can be configured in two ways:

  1. Each user defines them in myitero.com. Partners should make sure to train the users to set these values. This is required one time

    Lab view:

  2. A partner can 'force' Export Settings for all accounts that are part of the integration. The settings are defined in Align's internal system.

    Note

    1. Export Settings will apply to all current and future accounts.
    2. These Export Settings will not be reflected in myitero.com for the participating users.
    3. Users can download scan files from myitero.com selecting any available Export Settings.
    4. Please contact iTeroAPISupport@aligntech.com to configure forced Export Settings.
