FAQ 355: How do I create a custom field?

If you have the Clinical Forms module, you can design your own forms and also create custom fields within ClinicOffice. This allows you to customise certain editors such as the Patient Editor.

To do this :-

– Open up the editor/record (Patient/Staff/Contact etc)
– At the top above Save & Close, click DESIGN
– Now click ENTER DESIGN MODE
– You will see a button called ADD FIELD
– Select the field you want to use (see page 140 of your userguide for description of different fields.)
– Drag and drop it over to the editor where you want it
– When you’re done click SAVE DESIGN at the top
– Then when you have saved your work LEAVE DESIGN MODE

If you still have the Sample Database to hand, you can always practice on there first!
