How to Create Custom Charts & Intake Forms 🎥

  • Updated

 

Important Notes:  
 

Please do not use symbols or special characters when creating these charts under any of the elements.

i.e. Do not use any of these: @#%* ( ) or any other symbol.

 

Radio button:  if you have 2 questions and use the radio button then only 1 of the questions will be able to be selected.

i.e. "Do you smoke?" yes or no - only 1 option will be able to be selected.

 

Every question should be in its own row for best formatting and view in the patient profile and when creating a pdf.  This applies to creating both a chart and intake form.

 

Export to PDF - If your PDF version of the chart does not show the entire Field Name, go to Settings, Form and Chart Templates, edit the template, double click the Field Name and add a space to the end of the row then Update Element.

 

 

1) Navigate to Settings > Forms & Letters  and select Intake Form & Chart Templates
