Using Extras in Client Forms is a great way to personalise the information captured from a Client Form submission, such as a list of targeted questions. This article will explain the best way to Label Extras to ensure they appear in the correct order within a Client Form.
Setting up Extras for Client Forms
1. Go to Setup.
2. Click Extras under Practice.
3. Click Add Field at the bottom right corner.
4. Add a Label to the Field.
If the goal is to add multiple Extras Fields, such as a list of questions that need to be in a certain order, this is where the formatting is set. Depending on the number of Extras Fields needed, it is recommended to order using a prepending number or letter in each Field. For example, prepend the Extras Fields with either 01. 02. 03. and so on or A. B. C. and so on.
Hot Tips
If using numbers for ordering, single digits need to start with a 0.
5. Select the desired field Type (e.g. Text, Multiple choice, Checkboxes, Drop-down, etc.)
6. Add a Default answer (Optional).
7. Add directions or information to assist with completing the field via Help/Info (Optional).
8. Set the Field as Active.
9. Complete steps 3 - 8 until you have added all of the required questions, remembering to prepend them with a number or letter.
10. Once you have created all of the required Fields, click Save Changes at the bottom right corner.
