How to Create Chart Templates

Understanding the Two Areas of the Templates Admin Module

The Templates Module section has two main areas:
• The Form Builder
• The Template Library


What Is the Form Builder?

The Builder is where you create and customize templates.

The Builder works as a drag-and-drop system.

On the right side:
• You will see the available components or fields

On the left side:
• You will see a blank template area

To create a template:

  1. Drag components into the blank template

  2. Organize the sections

  3. Click on each component to customize the information inside it


What Can Be Added to Templates

• Text areas
• Checkboxes
• Dropdowns
• Paragraph sections
• Multiple choice fields


Important Notes

• Templates can be fully customized
• Components can be added or removed at any time
• Each component can be edited individually


What Is the Template Library?

Overview

The Template Library contains pre-made templates that can be previewed and added directly into your Builder area.

These templates help clinics:
• Save setup time
• Use standardized workflows
• Customize existing forms instead of building from scratch


Steps to Use a Template from the Library

  1. Open the Template Library

  2. Preview the available templates

  3. Select the template you want to use

  4. Add it to your Form Builder by clicking on the “+” icon


What Happens Next

Once the template is added to the Builder:
• You can fully customize it
• You can edit each component
• You can remove sections
• You can add new components
• You can modify all text and workflows

The process is the same as building a template from scratch.


Important Notes

• Library templates are fully editable
• Templates can be customized to fit each clinic’s workflow
• Templates become your own once modified and saved


How Templates Become Available for Documentation

Once templates are created or customized in the Builder area, they become available for documentation workflows.

Templates can be used:
• Through the client timeline
• Directly from appointments by adding them via the services’ pre-selected templates field


How to Add Templates To Services

Templates can be linked directly to services.

When linked:
• Practitioners can document directly from appointments
• The template becomes available through the Form Icon inside the appointment window


Steps to Link a Template to a Service

  1. Open the Services module

  2. Select the service

  3. Navigate to Pre- Select Chart Entry field

  4. Select the chart template

  5. Save the service settings


What Happens Next

• The template becomes automatically available during appointments for that service
• Documentation workflows become faster and more standardized


How to Use Templates Through the Client Timeline For Documentation of Care

  1. Open the Clients Module and click on the desired clientTimeline

  2. Select Add Entry in the Timeline

  3. Select the chart template

  4. Complete the documentation
