After opening Autoupload on the designated machine, it must be left open in order to run. It can be minimized down the task bar so that you can continue with other work on this machine. Autoupload automatically sends cases to the AAPCC on a configurable schedule using an ftp connection. Generally, these cases are gathered from the network database. Any time a change is made to a case, it will reset the scanout flag and when Autoupload searches for cases to send to the AAPCC, it will include that case and overwrite previously sent versions of that case. After Autoupload has gathered the cases and sent the file (which you can watch occur through the Autoupload log window), it will wait up to 50400 seconds for the acknowledgment file from the AAPCC. (Normally this should take just a few minutes.) The acknowledgment file then will return and will inform you of the total number of cases sent, the total number accepted and the number rejected. If a case is rejected, it will update the status in the network database to Rejected.
If you would like to check your network or an archive for cases that have not been scanned out with Autoupload, you can run a Search on the suspect database with Case List-Advanced. On tab 2, Case Information, uncheck the checkbox in the right hand column labeled Scanout Status. If you check this box, it will search for cases that have been scanned out. Do not worry if you do find some cases that have not yet been scanned. This is normal as it can take a few minutes to send them to the AAPCC. Check back later to make sure they have scanned out. If they have not, contact Toxicall Technical Support.
Note: It is no longer necessary to run a Case Validation report before sending cases to the AAPCC
Autoupload can also be used to send data to other locations, such as a State Health Department. The receiving end must have TOXITRACK® to use the autoupload functionality. Please contact us at support@toxicall.com for more information on this functionality, as well as information on TOXITRACK®.
To set up Autoupload, please contact Toxicall Technical Support. Support will send you a setup file and schedule a time to walk you through the setup and testing of Autoupload.
