Working with Server Bookmarks

Server bookmarks are saved IntelePACS server locations. This concept is similar to a Favorites list in your web browser. You can add, edit, and delete server bookmarks. You can also protect a bookmark. Only users who have an account with the PACS that a bookmark refers to can edit or delete a protected bookmark.

A bookmark can specify an optional proxy server. A proxy server controls access between your local network for your workstation and external networks, including the network for a PACS server. In most cases, InteleViewer automatically detects if there is a proxy server on your local network and configures your bookmark accordingly. In some cases, you might need to manually specify a proxy server. There is no need to specify a proxy server for a bookmark if your local network does not use one. For more information, contact your PACS administrator.

To add server bookmarks:

  1. Do one of the following:

    • If you are not logged on, start InteleViewer. In the Login window, click Edit Bookmarks.
    • If you are already logged in to InteleViewer, from the main menu, choose Utilities | Edit Bookmarks.

    The Server Bookmarks window appears.

  2. Click Add.

    The New Bookmark window appears.

  3. Enter the URL of the IntelePACS server you want to connect to.

    If this PACS server can only be accessed with a proxy server, the URL must use the https protocol. If you do not have this information, contact your PACS administrator.

  4. To prevent users from deleting or modifying your bookmark, enable Protect Bookmark.

    Only users with the user name and password for the IntelePACS server can edit or delete a protected bookmark.

  5. To name the bookmark, enable Use Custom Server Name and then enter the name in the corresponding field. This name is displayed in the Login window. By default, the installation name is used.

You can customize the branding of the InteleViewer bookmark names so that you can provide a unique bookmark name for each URL connecting to the same IntelePACS instance. To configure this option, please contact your Client Success manager.
