NextGen customers will need to login and follow the information in the link below for implemention:

https://successcommunity.nextgen.com/s/article/Client-API-Portal-User-Guide

 ***Completing the CNEX Portal Setup:**  
These are to be preformed with the customer's admin login once the above steps are completed.* 

Please note that the settings fields shown in the screenshots are dynamic and may change according to the chosen EHR platform. 

***Clinical Note Exchange Web App URL:**  
http://cnex.clinicallyspearking.com/*

***1)** **Verify and update any settings info for their EHR.***

- *Environment Id should match the Dragon Admin Center's environment ID.*

***2) On the right, add users who will be using CNEX.***

- Add Users manually through + icon or via Entra mapping via Blue icon

You may see a eDist user and email in this section.  
This is done by default and does not provide us access to their CNEX portal.   
Customer may delete the user entry.
