Using OurMind without switching screens

Do you want to use OurMind without constantly switching between screens or logging in again? In that case, using OurMind in the Microsoft Edge Sidebar is a helpful option.

This workflow is shared in the video below by Albert van de Veer, general practitioner, and helps you use OurMind easily alongside your HIS. Watch the video here:

Step-by-step guide

Step 1: Enable the sidebar in Microsoft Edge

To use OurMind in the sidebar, the sidebar must first be enabled.

  1. Open OurMind in Microsoft Edge.

  2. Click the three dots in the top-right corner to open the menu.

  3. Go to Settings.

  4. Search for Sidebar and open the sidebar settings.

  5. Set the sidebar to Always on.

Once this is set, a sidebar will appear on the right side of your screen. This will be your quick access point.

Step 2: Open OurMind in the Edge Sidebar

You can now place OurMind in the sidebar.

  1. Open the OurMind website in a tab in Microsoft Edge.

  2. Right-click the tab in which OurMind is open.

  3. Choose Open in sidebar.

OurMind will now appear on the right side of your screen, while your HIS or other systems remain open in the main window.

Step 3: Pin OurMind for quick access

To open OurMind with a single click from now on:

  1. Move your mouse to the OurMind icon in the sidebar.

  2. Right-click.

  3. Choose Pin to sidebar.

From now on, you can open and close OurMind with one click, without interrupting your workflow.

Note: this workflow only works in Microsoft Edge, and you will remain logged in as long as your Edge session is active.
