Database:

  • The PANDA database is currently hosted on SQL Server 2014 Express Edition. This free version supports up to 10GB of size. If the database grows to meet that volume, an enterprise version of SQL Server. (Standard, Professional or Enterprise) will need to be purchased to upgrade the database so it can be supported.
  • *Note: Typically, single practices with up to 20 computers would not encounter this volume of data within a 15-year period. It is typically only indicated in larger practices with multiple clinics functioning off one database.

Additional software and accessories:

  • Flash Player 6 or later for interactive help
  • Web browser for online support
  • Color printer for charts (recommended)
  • Microsoft Word installed (or Open Office Writer)

    2. Printing and exporting Letters: Microsoft Word (.doc, .docx), PDF (.pdf)

    3. Emailing attachments: Microsoft Word (.doc, .docx), PDF (.pdf). A default email application such as Outlook or Thunderbird must be configured to handle email attachments. Web-based accounts such as Yahoo and Hotmail will work with email attachments only if the default email application on the computer is configured to handle those accounts. Emailing attachments directly from PANDA to a web-based email account (Yahoo, Hotmail, etc.) using browsers such as Chrome and Firefox is not supported.
