Navigating Posture Scan
A login is required to access Posture Scan. To authenticate the login process, you must have an internet connection.
To upload scans to the Organisations scan library, an internet connection is required. Scans that do not get uploaded due to slow or interrupted internet connection are temporarily stored locally on the PC. If there are scans waiting in a queue for upload to the server, the number and the progress can be seen in the top right corner of of the menu bar. Local scans can be retrieved using Movement Lab on the same computer and without an internet connection. The scan data is encrypted and can only be opened with Movement Lab software. Scans that have not been uploaded will not be seen in Note or an external computer using Movement Lab because they have not arrived at our server.
