Home > EMTrack > EMTrack Form Configuration > Create a Form


As an administrator, you can create Web - Add, Web - Edit, and Mobile forms by specifying the Name, Description, and Type of form. By default, forms are available to all users in the region, but through Regional Availability you can restrict access to a form by selecting specific providers and/or user roles.

There are two main ways to create forms. You can create a brand new form and after creating it, you will then need to design the form by adding, configuring, and ordering the questions or fields that comprise the form. Once design is complete, you can make the form Active to indicate it is ready for use and then make it Visible when you want users to be able to access it in the Web or Mobile application.

Alternatively, you can create a form from file by downloading an existing form and then uploading the emtrackform file in another region or environment. This form is basically ready to go; however, once the new form has been created, form fields, including data elements behind the fields, along with Regional Availability and Visibility options should be reviewed to make sure they work properly in the new region or environment.

To create a brand new form

  1. On the upper right, click System Settings.
  2. On the left, under Other Settings, click Patient Forms. The Forms Configuration page opens.
  3. Click Create Form. The Create Form page opens.

    1. Name - Title of the form, which will be used on the Forms Configuration page and form selection menu.
    2. Description - Details or information that will help users understand why and when to use the form.
    3. Type - Indicates how and when the form can be accessed and used (Web - Add, Web - Edit, or Mobile).
    4. If you are creating a Mobile form, select or clear the check box for Daily Tracking. Selecting this check box means the form will be available in run mode, when the run clock has been started. Tracking options are configured through the Tracking Number field on forms.
