Use the Clinical Event Name field if you are creating an Event Task Type Form and wish to include the name of the clinical event the Form is tied to. This field is for informational purposes only.
If you have configured Form Categories, you can use the Category field to select the correct Category for the Form. To use a language other than English, enter a different language in the Language field.
Check which attributes you wish to assign to the Form. The possible attributes include:
- Requires Clock-In: a user must be clocked in to a Visit or Service to complete a Form.
- Display Report in Client Dashboard: if selected, the Form will appear as a tab on the Client Dashboard (as a Sticky Form) on the mobile app after Care Plan and Progress Notes.
- Exclude from Visit Reports: the Form will not be included in the Visit Report.
- Pre-populate with the Most Recent Report: details from the most recently submitted submitted Form will automatically populate when filling out the Form for a Client.
- Approve Automatically: if selected the Form will be approved automatically upon submission.
- For Admin Eyes Only: only users in an admin role will be able to view the Form in Client Forms or Visit Forms. This setting overrides roles selected in the Restrict View To field.
- Notify Alert Queue: enabling this setting will ensure that an email or SMS notification will be sent according to your Notification Rules.
