Never send a lab case without the shade photos

Every morning, WebRun opens XLDent to find cases ready to submit to the lab, checks the shared image folder in Google Drive for the required shade and preparation photos, and posts a Slack reminder listing any case still missing photos so the team attaches them before the case ships.

In short

How do I make sure shade photos are attached before lab submission?

WebRun opens XLDent each morning to find cases ready to submit to the lab, then checks your shared Google Drive image folder for the required shade and preparation photos. It posts the team a Slack reminder listing any case still missing photos, ordered by submission date, so no restoration ships to the lab without the shade documented.

  • No case ships to the lab without its shade photos attached
  • Missing-photo cases are caught the morning before submission
  • The team sees exactly which cases are photo-complete and ready to send

Questions, answered

Does it send the photos to the lab itself?

No. WebRun only checks whether the shade and preparation photos are present and posts an internal Slack reminder. Attaching photos and submitting to the lab is done by your team.

What counts as a case missing its photos?

A lab-ready case is flagged when its shade or preparation photos are absent from the Google Drive folder, unlabeled, or do not match the case reference, so gaps are caught before the case ships.

How does it know which cases are heading to the lab?

It reads XLDent each morning for cases marked ready to submit to the lab, then checks each of those against the image folder, so only imminent submissions are reviewed.
