6) Using the app
The app is intended for simple, intuitive operation.
On the left-hand side is the product hierarchy, and on the right, a series of diagrams.
A menu bar appears along the top, which features the HOME, search, language, bookmark and
shopping basket functions, among others.
HOME: Click on this button to return to the app start page.
Search: This function allows you to search for spare parts. It is possible to search by both
name or article number. Further information on the search function can be found in the
section on “Using the search function”.
Language: The preferred language can be selected in the language selection tab. The
following languages are available: German, English, French, Spanish. The spare parts’ names
can also be changed here.

rapidly (see (5) for further information).

7) Using the parts catalogue for spare parts
The parts catalogue is divided into two parts:
All products are listed on the left-hand side. All available spare parts are listed under the respective
products. Only the superordinate products are listed on the top level (e.g. treatment centres). The
subordinate product category is opened when the desired product is selected. Repeat this procedure
until the spare part sought is shown.
A series of diagrams are displayed on the right-hand side. They change depending on the selection
made on the left-hand side. When two fingers are placed on the image and drawn outwards (“pinch”
action), the image will be enlarged. Doing the opposite will reduce the size of the image again. The
image can also be moved by placing a finger on it and moving it in the desired direction.

8) Using the search function
To call up the search function, simply click on the field featuring a magnifying glass in the menu bar.
You can now either:
•
Enter the full product name
•
Enter the article number
•
Enter the first few letters of a product
Should you wish to search by item number, please note that these numbers are formatted differently
than in the dental and technical information, i.e. as ZZ ZZ ZZZ separated with spaces. The search for
these item numbers is identical to that for word groups.
Please ensure that no spaces appear between the numbers in this app. So instead of “59 02 820”,
please enter “5902820”.

9.4) Sample work flow
In the past, your depot/centre always received handwritten orders from technicians, for
example, which they subsequently entered in the order system. By using the Sirona Spares
app on your iPad, this process can be greatly simplified, as the following shows:
1) Technicians select spare parts
Your technical field staff use the app to select the required spare parts. They add these to
their system using the shopping basket symbol.
2) Technicians email their order lists to the office
The order lists are emailed directly to the warehouse/your organisation’s responsible office as text
files/content. At the end of the email is a summary in the following format:
5980052|10|
5980482|3|
5980508|1|
5981878|1|

3) Office imports lists to the Sirona online shop
The text received via email in step (2) (only these) is copied to the clipboard and pasted into
the shop input field. After selecting “Next”, the products are added to the order, which now
needs to be complemented with the usual information before being submitted.
Any questions?
