How does OpenDental know what patient image to show

Post by willcipriano » Thu Oct 23, 2014 11:35 am

On the appointment screen how does OpenDental know what image to show? I'm working with the database directly and I only see a reference to the image folder itself but not what image specifically to select. Any answers might save me having to dig though the source code. Thanks!

It just displays the picture from the image category that you have flagged as the "Patient Pictures" folder.

The best thing about a boolean is even if you are wrong, you are only off by a bit.
