Overview
axiUm Dental is an academic dental EHR and practice management system built for dental schools and clinical training environments. Its data model centers on patients, appointments, clinical chart entries, treatment plans, perio records, and billing transactions — organized around student-provider workflows and accreditation tracking. HighLevel is a marketing-focused CRM and automation platform built for agencies and service businesses that manages contacts, companies, opportunities (pipeline deals), and automated workflows. The two platforms share almost no functional overlap beyond basic contact demographics. We extract patient names, contact information, addresses, appointment timestamps, and clinic notes from axiUm and map them to HighLevel contacts and companies. Clinical chart data, perio measurements, treatment plans, lab orders, and billing records have no HighLevel equivalent and cannot migrate. Workflow automations, patient forms, and clinical approval chains require manual rebuild in HighLevel's workflow builder. We sequence the migration using axiUm's export API and HighLevel's bulk import endpoints, run a test pass first, then execute the full cutover with a 24–48 hour delta window to capture in-flight appointments created during the transition.
Every standard and custom field arrives verified.
AI proposes the map; you confirm before any record moves.
Parent–child, lookups, and ownership stay linked.
Calls, emails, meetings — with original timestamps.
Documents, uploads, and inline notes move with the record.

Object mapping
Each row shows how a axiUm Dental object lands in HighLevel, including any object-level transformations, lookup resolution, or schema-design dependencies.
Typical mapping — final map is confirmed during the sample migration step.
axiUm Dental
Patient (Rolodex)
HighLevel
Contact
1:1axiUm patient records from the Rolodex module map to HighLevel contacts. We extract first name, last name, date of birth, contact phone numbers, and email addresses. Patient ID from axiUm is stored as a custom field (Source_System_ID__c) for traceability and delta-run de-duplication.
axiUm Dental
Patient Address
HighLevel
Contact address fields
1:1axiUm stores patient addresses as a separate sub-record linked to the patient. We map street address, city, state, and postal code to HighLevel's address fields on the contact record. Historical addresses from axiUm are preserved as custom text fields if multiple addresses exist for a single patient. We validate address formats during the test migration pass to catch any truncation or encoding issues before the full cutover.
axiUm Dental
Medical Alert
HighLevel
Contact custom field (CustomField)
1:1axiUm flags medical alerts (allergies, conditions, restrictions) that appear in the status bar when a chart opens. These map to a HighLevel custom text field (Medical_Alerts__c) on the contact. We preserve the full alert text string as entered in axiUm.
axiUm Dental
Patient Appointment (Scheduler)
HighLevel
Contact activity (Task)
1:1axiUm appointment records from the Scheduler module map to HighLevel tasks on the associated contact. Appointment date, time, provider name, treatment type, and status (completed, no-show, cancelled) are captured. Historical appointment volume becomes activity history in HighLevel. Provider assignments are resolved through email matching to HighLevel team members, with unmatched providers flagged for team member creation before migration.
axiUm Dental
Treatment Plan
HighLevel
Custom Object or Opportunity
1:1axiUm treatment plan records containing diagnoses, planned procedures, and estimates have no direct HighLevel equivalent. We create a Treatment_Plans__c custom object in HighLevel with fields for procedure codes, status, and estimated amounts, linked to the contact record through a lookup relationship. This approach preserves the essential treatment planning information while adapting it to HighLevel's data structure.
axiUm Dental
Perio Chart
HighLevel
Custom Object (Perio_Records__c)
1:1axiUm periodontal chart measurements including BOP percentages, pocket depths, and CAL values are clinical data that don't have a direct HighLevel equivalent. We create a Perio_Records__c custom object with numeric fields for each measurement type, linked to the contact record. The full clinical chart notes, tooth-level charting, and radiograph links cannot be migrated to HighLevel and must remain in axiUm.
axiUm Dental
Clinical Note (EHR)
HighLevel
Contact custom text field
1:1axiUm clinical notes and procedure notes contain detailed clinical documentation that HighLevel cannot represent. We extract a plain-text summary of the most recent clinical note per patient and store it as a custom field (Clinical_Note_Summary__c) for reference — the full clinical record must remain in axiUm or a separate EHR.
axiUm Dental
Transaction / Billing
HighLevel
Opportunity
1:1axiUm financial transactions including procedure charges, insurance payments, and patient payments do not map to HighLevel opportunities or any standard object. We skip billing data entirely during migration. Practices needing financial history must retain axiUm access or export separately for accounting purposes. We recommend coordinating with your finance team before the cutover to establish a separate billing export workflow that captures all transaction history for your accounting records.
axiUm Dental
Clinic / Clinic Book
HighLevel
Sub-Account
1:manyaxiUm practices with multiple clinic locations (separate clinic books for different specialties or satellite sites) can map each to a separate HighLevel sub-account. This requires pre-setting up sub-accounts in HighLevel before migration — we deliver the mapping plan in the pre-migration audit.
axiUm Dental
Patient Attachment / Consent Form
HighLevel
Contact attachments
1:1axiUm scanned consent forms and patient-uploaded attachments are downloaded and re-uploaded to the contact record in HighLevel as file attachments. We respect HighLevel's file size limits of 25MB per file — any attachments exceeding this threshold are flagged in the migration report for manual handling by your team. Prior to migration, we verify that all consent forms are current and match your active templates.
axiUm Dental
Provider / Faculty (axiUm user)
HighLevel
HighLevel user (Team Member)
1:1axiUm provider and faculty accounts are resolved by matching email addresses against existing HighLevel team members. Unmatched axiUm providers are assigned to a fallback team member or flagged for HighLevel account creation before the full migration runs. This ensures all patient records maintain proper owner assignment throughout the migration process and no data is orphaned due to missing user accounts.
axiUm Dental
Recall / Follow-up
HighLevel
HighLevel workflow trigger
1:1axiUm recall records for hygiene appointments and follow-up care cannot migrate as data — they represent a workflow trigger that must be rebuilt in HighLevel using the workflow builder (trigger: contact created more than X months ago, action: send SMS or email reminder).

Pair-specific challenges
Migration approach
Pre-migration audit and source inventory
FlitStack reviews your axiUm deployment type (on-premise vs. cloud Ascend), version, and active module set. We run a discovery export to inventory patient record counts, appointment history volume, active treatment plans, and custom fields configured in your axiUm environment. We also confirm HighLevel sub-account structure, existing custom field configurations, and team member roster. The audit produces a Data Mapping Specification document that lists every axiUm field and its HighLevel destination — including the custom objects and custom fields we will create during the migration.
Create HighLevel custom objects and fields
Before any data moves, FlitStack creates the custom objects (Treatment_Plans__c, Perio_Records__c) and custom fields (Medical_Alerts__c, Source_System_ID__c, Clinical_Note_Summary__c, etc.) in HighLevel. If your practice uses multiple axiUm clinic books, we deliver a sub-account mapping plan and you create the corresponding HighLevel sub-accounts. We validate that custom field types match the data (e.g., number fields for perio measurements, currency fields for treatment estimates) so the migration engine can write data without type errors.
Run sample migration with field-level diff
We export a representative slice of axiUm records (typically 100–500 patient records spanning different providers, appointment statuses, and treatment plan types) and run a test migration into your HighLevel sandbox or a duplicate sub-account. We generate a field-level diff showing every source field value and its destination field value so you can verify that patient demographics, appointment history, medical alerts, and treatment plan summaries landed correctly. You review the diff and approve before the full run commits.
Execute full migration with delta-pickup window
The full axiUm export runs against your production environment. All patient records, appointment history, treatment plans, perio summaries, and attachments migrate to HighLevel contacts, companies, and custom objects. A 24–48 hour delta-pickup window opens after the initial load completes — any new axiUm appointments or patient updates created during the cutover window are captured in a second pass. We validate record counts, verify custom field completeness, and confirm that all attachments uploaded successfully before declaring the migration complete.
Post-migration reconciliation and rebuild handoff
FlitStack delivers a reconciliation report comparing axiUm record counts against HighLevel record counts, flagging any gaps or partial migrations. We document the axiUm data fields that could not migrate (billing, clinical notes, recall logic) and provide rebuild reference documentation for your HighLevel admin: recall workflow logic, medical alert display setup, and sub-account access configuration. We also export a full axiUm backup CSV for your records and make it available for download for 30 days.
