Operating Environment Notice:
SpringCharts is an on-line system that requires uninterrupted access to a minimum level of system resources. As a result, it is recommended that the SpringCharts Server be located on a dedicated PC when possible (an exception is the database for the practice PMS program).

It is expressly recommended that highly resource-intensive programs and/or programs that may intermittently usurp the majority of system processing capacity or network bandwidth not be run at the same time as SpringCharts. Examples of these types of programs are:

• Virus scans of the entire hard drive (scans of individual files are acceptable),
• Streaming audio/video programs,
• And certain backup programs (when activated).
