How to...
Setup Dispense Integration with Fred Classic & Fred Plus
Fred Classic
If you DO know the name of your server computer
To get dispense integration setup with Fred Classic, all that’s needed is name of the computer that is the server for your Fred Dispense software data.
If you already know the name of this computer, open Quda, head to Settings > Dispense Integration, choose Fred Classic as your dispense software, and then input the following in the Server Name field:
<your_server_name>\FredHealth\FRED\DBFS
Replace <your_server_name> with the name of your server. As you can see in the image on the left, this example pharmacy’s server name is “FREDSERVER”, so they input FREDSERVER\FredHealth\FRED\DBFS.
Quda will then tell you if your settings have worked correctly. If you receive an error, please get in contact with us as soon as possible and we can help get things setup.
If you DO NOT know the name of your server computer
In Fred Classic, head to the Setup tab at the top of the program, and then click into System Configuration.
You should see an area at the bottom of the window that opens that looks similar to the image on the left, where your server name is in the field labelled Drive. In the image, this pharmacy’s server computer is FREDSERVER.
Once you have your server name, open Quda, head to Settings > Dispense Integration, choose Fred Classic as your dispense software, and then input the following in the Server Name field:
<your_server_name>\FredHealth\FRED\DBFS
Replace <your_server_name> with the name of your server. For a pharmacy with the server name FREDSERVER, you would input FREDSERVER\FredHealth\FRED\DBFS.
Quda will then tell you if your settings have worked correctly. If you receive an error, please get in contact with us as soon as possible and we can help get things setup.
Fred Plus
To get integration setup with Fred Dispense Plus, the team at Fred IT require a Sensitive Data Access form to be submitted on behalf of the pharmacy. You can access this form (which only takes a few minutes to fill out) with the link below:
For Question 2 “Request Type”, choose the option “Authorisation”, and for Question 3 “Which party and/or integration does this request relate to?”, choose “Other” and type in “Pharmacy Halo”.
Once your request has been approved, the team at Fred IT will send us an access key. One of our team members will then be in touch ASAP after receiving this key to help you complete the setup.
