Another vote on getting a date assigned to the Discount Plan, although I'd push for an end date rather than an effective date as described below. The workflow is as follows: Patient walks in the door on 2/1/2019 and signs up for the discount plan. Two weeks later the husband walks in and signs up fo...

This is fantastic info - thank you guys. From the sound of it, OD is not quite ready to be cloud hosted, but is on its way there. I appreciate the brave souls paving the path on this for the rest of us - if we ever meet at a trade show or something, the first round is on me :) Until OD is suitable f...

Good info Chris. Latency from AWS middle tier to AWS DB wasn't an issue. I think the latency issue is in going over the wire - either direct to DB or to middletier server. If OD is written in a way that requires lots of trips even when there's a middle tier, I'm out of ideas on how to make it faster...

Using Galera Cluster is an interesting idea. Conceptually it's more of a (potentially) really nice way to do replication - a step up from daisy chain. Could also put a GC node on AWS, although you'd still have the latency issues that it seems we're all running into when cloud hosting Open Dental. I ...

It's also a bit of a pain to add new locations with daisy chain, whereas cloud hosted RDB it's as easy ...

Challenge now is getting the single database architecture enterprise ready. My first test was with AWS and the setup is fairly simple, but ...

Recently upgraded to latest stable version 14.3.23 Program locks up when running Payment Plans report. It worked fine in version 14.2.26. Noticed that there is a "Hide completed payment plans" checkbox on the report now, which is an awesome feature, but it looks like something in that code killed th...

Reviving this post as I'm facing the same issue right now. What I would like to get is a query that shows me who does not currently have a next appointment scheduled as I would like to see 98% of all my active patients with a next appointment scheduled. I'm sure someone has already created an even m...
