Bulk import documents

MyComms can import pre-scanned images and documents in bulk, or you can import multiple documents as they are scanned, if you have a scanner connected to the network.

NOTE All imported documents must be filed to a patient or provider file before a document can be removed from the MyComms in-tray.

Import documents already scanned

1. Click Bulk Import from the MyComms toolbar.
2. If you have both or neither Correspond or Referral ticked in the Communication Type panel, Bp VIP.net will display a Communication Type popup. Select to import Correspondence or Referral documents.
3. Select Import from Files from the BulkImportTypeForm. A file explorer will open.
4. Select the files you want to import and click OK. The Scanned Images screen will appear, showing the list of imported documents down the left hand side. Click on a thumbnail to view the file.
5. To assign files to a patient record, select files using Ctrl+click or Shift+click and click File to Patient and select the patient from the Search screen.
6. If you are satisfied with the imported documents, click OK to return to MyComms.

Import documents not yet scanned

1. Click Bulk Import from the MyComms toolbar.
2. If you have both or neither Correspond or Referral ticked in the Communication Type panel, Bp VIP.net will display a Communication Type popup. Select to import Correspondence or Referral documents.
