Customize Toolbar Buttons - XrayVision

Josh Grabia

XrayVision has many functions available within its menu system (File menu, Patient menu, etcetera), though navigating through the menus to use the same function repeatedly can be time consuming and repetitive. The Toolbar exists to have quick and easily identifiable access to those functions with the minimum amount of clicks.

The Toolbar buttons are a local configuration, meaning that each computer can have its own unique buttons even if they all share a single server installation. A computer's Toolbar can be set as a default template for other workstations to use, or each PC can have its own unique Toolbar. The following guide will walk you through creating custom buttons, setting the current button layout as default, and how to set a PC to use the default button layout.
