  • select the provided Training5 backend or create a first backend for your own use

Once a backend is in place, you can:

  • open the Case Manager and proceed to enter and interview a patient

The 3di toolbar appears on the Add-Ins tab of the Access ribbon. The buttons on the toolbar are illustrated and explained in the following pages.

As in all Office applications, the ribbon can be set to automatically hide by double clicking one of the tab titles, or by means of the pin/arrow icons in the bottom right corner of the ribbon.
