Introducing Custom Forms in CareSmartz360!
The Custom Forms tool is a new feature in CareSmartz360. It allows you to create new forms and/or modify existing templates by choosing from a wide variety of fields, also allowing data validation and conditional display logic. Form templates can be created and used for Client Assessments and/or any other forms which an Agency uses for their clients. Please note that enabling and creating new forms to use across the agency requires Admin permissions to access Settings.
1. Custom Assessment Forms in Client Profile
a. Enable/Disable Custom Assessment Forms
i. Enable “Custom Assessment Forms” by navigating to Admin Settings > Client > Custom Forms – Custom Assessment Forms.
ii. Use the checkbox to enable or disable the feature to use custom assessment forms.
b. Create New or Modify an Existing Assessment Template
You can create new templates from scratch or use an existing one to create new templates depending upon your needs. Note: You can set up as many active assessment templates as you like.
c. Create a New Client Assessment
