Using placeholders

  • type \

  • click the {} icon in the stick toolbar

Placeholders can be included anywhere in a progress note, including in tables.


Assign a default note template to services

To make note writing easier, you can assign a default progress note template to services so that a particular template is selected for different services from appointments.

Navigate to services.


Edit a service and scroll down to "default progress note template".

Select the progress note template to default for this service.


This progress note will be preselected for practitioners when they add a progress note from that service. A practitioner can still choose a different progress note template if needed however.
