Incoming Messages: Translate incoming messages from any language to English effortlessly. You can either select the "See Translation" option below the incoming text message or click the three-dot menu to access the "See Translation" option. In both cases, the message will be translated into English. Once the translation is complete, the translated text will persist alongside the original language text.

Forms Evolution


Propagate (Copy) Forms and Consents

  • Copying Forms: You can now easily duplicate custom forms between different practice locations by accessing the three-dot menu. This feature eliminates the need to recreate forms, saving time. When selecting the copy option, a pop-up will show the form's name and a list of practices. Each practice will have a dropdown menu displaying associated PMS folders. If the current folder name matches a folder in the dropdown, it will be automatically selected. You can update the folder before clicking the Propagate button. If no matching folder is found at the destination, the dropdown will remain blank and highlighted in red.

  • Copying Consents: To copy a custom consent between locations, use the three-dot menu. Selecting the copy option will prompt a pop-up showing the consent's name and a list of practices. Each practice will have a dropdown menu displaying its associated "Category Name" for consent forms. If the current category name matches a category in the dropdown, it's automatically selected (Exists). You can update the category before clicking the Propagate button. If there's no matching category in the destination location, the dropdown will be blank and highlighted in red (Will create).

  • Displaying Forms in a Specific Order: You can now customize the order of forms on the patient's submission portal. Simply access the "Edit Form Order" button under Forms > Forms tab. A pop-up will show the list of forms, allowing drag-and-drop rearrangement. Upon saving, each form receives an order number, determining its display sequence. New forms are added to the end of the order, duplicates follow suit. Deleting a form adjusts the order sequence accordingly. Deactivated forms maintain their position. Treatment Plans and Consent forms appear below the last form in the sequence.

Online Forms


  • Optional or Elective Checkboxes in Consents: Customize consent forms to include optional checkboxes, allowing patients to decline the form. Use custom tags like ((yes_no)) or ((accept_decline)) to display radio buttons for opting in or out. Add an asterisk to the existing checkbox control [[*]] to make it optional, while the existing checkbox control [[]] remains mandatory. Introduce additional brackets [[]] for the same checkbox. Include radio button options under labels like ((group_name, radio text)), making it a required field with multiple options associated with specific group names. Radio buttons provide a list of options, allowing users to select only one.
