Adding tables to form templates
Updated over 6 months ago

CHR forms are electronic versions of your clinic's standard forms. You use these electronic forms while in a patient's chart. Refer to Using electronic forms for more information.

Adding tables to form templates streamlines documentation for multiple entries. For example, you could use a table in a prenatal form where you want to document notes for every prenatal visit.

When completing a form with a table, you can add additional rows. If the completed table exceeds the configured area, an appendix is automatically generated at the end of the form.

Each time you save the form, a PDF version is saved in the form's History section as a clickable link. When you modify a cell in a table of a saved form, a new PDF is generated and added to the form's History for future reference.

📌 Note: You cannot add data variables to tables.
