What Are Custom Data Sources for PMS Writebacks?

In the PbN form editor, you now have the option to enable Custom Data Sources for Radio Button Blocks and Yes/No Blocks. When this option is selected, the information collected through these fields can be written back directly into your Practice Management Software (PMS), which is currently only for Open Dental and Eaglesoft users.


This feature allows you to customize patient data collection and recording, ensuring that key information is captured efficiently and sent directly to your PMS.
