Important Notes
• Diagnosis numbers and records created in GDS Smart or Digital PDI are not transferred between the apps. Only the app-switching function is supported.
• The GDS-SMART return button is available only when Digital PDI was opened through GDS Smart. It is not shown when Digital PDI is opened independently.
• When Digital PDI is opened for the first time, you cannot go directly to GDS Smart. First open Digital PDI through GDS Smart; you can then return to GDS Smart.
• To support this feature, Digital PDI will be installed on users' tablets. Existing Digital PDI installations will be updated automatically; users without Digital PDI will receive a new installation.
• If Digital PDI is not required, delete the Digital PDI app.
