Creating Local Fields

You may create your own local fields for use in non-consent documents only. Examples of non-consent documents are your own local forms (Release of Information document), education documents, and patient instructions. Examples of local fields are custom signature fields, your own diagnosis pick lists for local consents, free text boxes, and multi-line select lists. To create your own local fields, follow these steps:

1. From the main iMed screen, right-click on the document you are adding the field to, and click “Edit”.
   
   
   

   
   
   
2. When the document opens, click the Create Field button.
   
   
   

   
   
   
3. The Field Creation Wizard opens.
   
   
   
   
4. Select the radio button next to the type of field you would like to create, then follow the steps in the wizard to create your new field.
