- To display a practice website page
Whenever possible, we recommend using a web link or web video in the Article or Poster layouts instead of using this embedded web layout. Use of more than one embedded layout on a sheet may increase the time it takes to load that sheet in our apps. We can not guarantee the functionality or full compatibility of third party widgets or web pages within embedded layouts. This includes how it functions with our responsive design, particularly its appearance on mobile devices, and if it functions on all apps.
Please consider using urls that have secure (https) domains. Security in the browser does not allow insecure web pages to be displayed on the patient web portal.
