Forms can be employed to collect information from clients, or used as part of internal Jobs to record information within your practice. 

The information collected in a form will automatically pull through to a client's record. All of the forms you use in Senta are kept in one place, and you can easily add new ones.

Creating your form

Go to Settings > Forms

Click Add Form

Set up:

1. A name for your form 

2. If you want a new tab to be added to the client's record 

once the form is filled in

3. An optional prefix for this tab

4. How many tabs you want within your form (click add tab to create additional tabs)

5. Tab names

6. Tab type

7. Introduction text for your form

Should you wish this form to only apply to certain types of client, you can then choose to add a filter. For more information on Filters see here.

Adding fields to your form

Click Add Field to begin adding sections to your form.

You will then have the option to select:

1. A name for that field

2. Select the field type

3. A field reference (in case you need to refer to this field elsewhere in Senta)

4. An optional tooltip (that will appear as a question mark with hover text next to the field)

5. If the field is mandatory

6. If the field is read only

Should you wish this field to only apply to certain types of client, you can then choose to add a filter. For more information on filters see here.

Once you have added all the fields you require, return to the top of the page and click Save. Your form will now be available to use throughout Senta.

Amending tabs on your form

You can also delete and move tabs on your forms. Select the tab you want to delete or move, and you'll see a set of three icons:

These can be used to re-order the tab:

Or delete it completely:

Duplicating forms

To duplicate a form, click the Duplicate button at the top of the page:

You will be given a couple of options to either Copy as linked or Copy as unlinked. 

Copy as linked - the fields within the new duplicated form will be identical to those in the original form and they will be linked together. This means that any value you input into a linked field on the original form, will synchronise across to the other. 

Copy as unlinked - the fields within the new duplicated form will not be linked to the fields on the original forms, and as such, the values you input on the new form will not synchronise across to the original form.  This is helpful if you would like to create a form similar to another form you have set up.
