Question 8

How does the drag-and-drop form builder work?

Accepted Answer

The form builder uses a document-style canvas that looks and feels like writing a document: • Each field appears as a card: hover to reveal a drag handle on the left for reordering • On the right of each field: a gear icon (advanced settings) and a trash icon (delete) • Between fields, a "+" button appears on hover so you can insert new fields anywhere • At the bottom, type a question directly (press Enter to create a text field) or type "/" to open the slash command menu • Click directly on field labels and placeholders to edit them inline • Click the red asterisk (*) next to any label to toggle required/optional

Question 9

What is the slash command menu?

Accepted Answer

Type "/" in the empty input at the bottom of the form canvas to open a searchable field picker. Fields are organized into three categories: • Basic: text, number, email, phone, textarea, select, radio, checkbox, switch, date, time, file upload • Healthcare: insurance info, medications, allergies, conditions, emergency contact, consent agreement, photo upload • Advanced: e-signature, payment collection, appointment booking Start typing to filter (e.g. "/ins" to find insurance). Use arrow keys to navigate and Enter to select.

Question 10

What field types are available?

Accepted Answer

Formisoft offers 25+ field types across three categories: • Standard inputs: text, number, email, phone, text area, select dropdown, radio buttons, checkboxes, toggle switch, date picker, time picker, date & time, file attachment, copy/markdown content • Healthcare-specific: insurance information (full form with carrier, policy, subscriber), medications list (repeating entries with dosage & frequency), allergies checklist (with severity), medical conditions (ICD-10 codes), emergency contact, consent agreement, photo upload (configurable slots) • Advanced: digital e-signature (draw on any device), payment collection, appointment booking (real-time availability)

Question 11

Can I add conditional logic to my forms?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Click the gear icon on any field to open Advanced Settings, then configure a "Show if" rule: • Choose a source field and an operator (equals, not equals, contains, not contains, is empty, is not empty, greater than, less than) • Set the value that triggers the condition • Fields with conditions show an amber badge on the canvas with the rule description • The field is hidden from patients unless the condition is met Example: show the "Medications list" only if the patient selects "Yes" to "Are you currently taking any medications?"

Question 12

Can I create multi-page forms?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Click the "Add page" button at the bottom of the form canvas: • Each page gets its own title (optional) and set of fields • Patients see a progress indicator and navigate with Back/Next buttons • Progress is auto-saved every 30 seconds to the patient's browser • If they close the tab and come back later, they pick up exactly where they left off

Question 13

How do I edit a field's label or placeholder?

Accepted Answer

Everything is edited live on the canvas, with no dialogs needed for basic changes: • Click directly on the field label text to edit it inline • Click the grayed-out placeholder text (e.g. "Enter text...") to edit it inline • For select, radio, and checkbox fields: click any option to edit, press Enter to add a new one, click X to remove

Question 14

How do I make a field required?

Accepted Answer

Click the red asterisk (*) next to any field's label on the canvas. It toggles between required and optional. Required fields show the asterisk to patients and are validated before they can proceed to the next page or submit.

Question 15

Can I add custom validation rules to form fields?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Click the gear icon on a field to open Advanced Settings. For text-based fields you can set: • Minimum length and maximum length • Regex pattern (e.g. a ZIP code pattern like "^\d{5}$") • Custom error message shown to the patient Validation runs when the patient clicks Next or Submit, with error messages displayed inline below the field.

Question 16

Do forms auto-save patient progress?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Every 30 seconds, the patient's current answers and page position are saved to their browser's local storage: • Survives closing the tab, switching apps, or losing connection • Patient returns to the same URL and picks up where they left off • Draft is cleared automatically after a successful submission

Question 17

Can I duplicate and reuse forms?

Accepted Answer

Yes. From your forms list, duplicate any existing form to create a new version with all the same fields, logic, and settings. This is useful for creating variations, like a version for new patients vs. follow-ups, or for different specialties, without rebuilding from scratch.

Question 18

What are field tags?

Accepted Answer

Every field gets a unique tag (auto-generated from the label, like "full_name" or "date_of_birth"). Tags are used for: • Patient Mode field mapping: map tags to patient record fields so submissions auto-populate profiles • Webhook payloads: tags become the keys in JSON data sent to your integrations (Front Desk) • CSV exports: tags are used as column headers for clean data mapping

Question 19

How does AI form generation work?

Accepted Answer

Click "New Form" from your dashboard and select "AI generation." Then: • Type a natural language prompt describing what you need, e.g. "Create a new patient intake form for an orthopedic clinic with demographics, insurance, medications, allergies, surgical history, and consent" • The AI generates a complete multi-page form with the correct field types (including healthcare-specific fields), validation rules, required flags, and logical page grouping • The form appears in your builder ready to customize using drag-and-drop

Question 20

What kind of prompts work best?

Accepted Answer

Be specific about your specialty and the information you need. Good examples: • "Pediatric new patient form with parent contact, immunization history, allergies, and consent" • "Physical therapy intake with injury history, pain rating, insurance, and e-signature" • "Dental new patient registration with medical history, medications, insurance card upload, and HIPAA consent" The AI understands healthcare terminology and automatically selects the right field types. For example, it uses the structured insurance capture field rather than a plain text input.

Question 21

Can I scan a paper form and convert it to digital?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Choose "From image" when creating a new form: • Upload a photo, scan, or screenshot of any paper form • The AI analyzes the layout and content • Generates a digital form with matching fields, labels, and structure • Automatically selects healthcare-specific field types when appropriate • Review and customize the result in the full drag-and-drop builder

Question 22

Can I edit the AI-generated form afterward?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. The AI gives you a starting point. After generation, the form opens in the full drag-and-drop builder where you can add or remove fields, change field types, edit labels and placeholders, add conditional logic, reorder pages, configure validation rules, update branding, and more. It's identical to editing any form you built manually.

Question 23

What AI model does Formisoft use?

Accepted Answer

Formisoft uses an advanced AI model for both text-to-form generation and image-to-form conversion. The model is specifically prompted with knowledge of all 25+ Formisoft field types and healthcare best practices to generate accurate, well-structured intake forms.

Question 24

Can patients upload photos of their insurance card?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Add a "Photo Upload" field to your form and configure it with slots like "Front" and "Back": • On mobile, patients take a photo directly with their camera or choose from their photo library • On desktop, they upload image files • Photos are stored securely and linked to the patient's record • Displayed alongside their policy details: no manual copying needed by front desk staff

Question 25

How does the insurance information field work?

Accepted Answer

The insurance capture field renders a complete, structured mini-form within your intake form. It collects: • Insurance carrier name • Policy number and group number • Subscriber name and date of birth • Subscriber relationship (self, spouse, child, or other) When Patient Mode is enabled, this data is automatically saved to the patient's insurance record. Include two insurance fields for primary and secondary coverage.

Question 26

Can I collect a patient's full medication list?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The medications list field lets patients add multiple entries. Each medication captures: • Medication name • Dosage (e.g. "10mg") • Frequency (e.g. "twice daily") • Prescriber name • Start date and status (active, discontinued, or as-needed) Patients click "Add medication" for each entry. All data is normalized in the patient record, structured and searchable, not buried in a free-text field.

Question 27

How does the allergies field work?

Accepted Answer

The allergies field lets patients list each allergy with structured data: • Substance or allergen name • Reaction description • Severity level: mild, moderate, severe, or life-threatening • Additional notes Data is normalized in the patient record with severity levels for clinical triage. Much more actionable than a plain text "list your allergies" box.

Question 28

Can I collect medical conditions with ICD-10 codes?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The medical conditions field shows a searchable checklist of ~20 common conditions pre-mapped to ICD-10 codes, including: • Asthma, Diabetes (type 1 and 2), Hypertension, Heart Disease, High Cholesterol • Arthritis, Depression, Anxiety, GERD, Thyroid Disorders • COPD, Epilepsy, Migraines, Osteoporosis, Sleep Apnea Patients check the conditions that apply. Each tracks status (active, resolved, or chronic) and diagnosis date. Patients can also add conditions not on the list.

Question 29

How do e-signatures work?

Accepted Answer

Add a "Signature" field to your form. The patient experience is simple: • A signature pad appears where patients draw their signature with a finger (mobile) or mouse (desktop) • The signature is captured as an image, timestamped, and stored as part of the submission • Use it for consent forms, HIPAA acknowledgments, treatment authorizations, financial agreements The signature and timestamp create a clear audit trail for compliance.

Question 30

How do consent agreements work?

Accepted Answer

The consent field combines rich text and legal acceptance: • Write custom consent text with rich formatting (bold, italic, links, lists) • Patients see a required checkbox ("I agree") below the text • Optionally add a signature pad for signed consent • A full audit trail records who consented, when, from what device, and their IP address Use it for HIPAA privacy notices, treatment consent, financial responsibility, photo/video release, and any other agreement.

Question 31

Can I collect emergency contact information?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The emergency contact field captures structured data: • Contact name • Phone number • Relationship (spouse, parent, child, sibling, grandparent, friend, or other) Data is saved to the patient record and immediately accessible when needed. No searching through form PDFs.

Question 32

How do I send intake forms to patients?

Accepted Answer

Open any form and click the "Send" button in the top navigation bar. From the dialog you can: • Search for a patient and send by email (magic link) or by SMS (SMS is on Front Desk) • Copy the public link to share manually • For appointment-based intake, click "Send intake forms" from the appointment detail: the patient receives an email with a magic link to all assigned forms On Front Desk, forms go out automatically when a patient books a visit type that has forms attached. You can also generate QR codes from the Tools section or embed forms on your website.

Question 33

What are magic links and how do they work?

Accepted Answer

Magic links are secure, one-click URLs that give patients direct access to their intake forms without any login or account creation: • Each link contains a JWT token (valid for 7 days) unique to the patient • The patient's known information is pre-filled automatically • Patient clicks the link in their email or text: the form loads immediately on any device • No login, no password, no app download required

Question 34

Can I send intake forms via text message (SMS)?

Accepted Answer

Yes, on Front Desk. In the Send Form dialog, choose SMS and the patient receives a text with your practice name and a direct link to the form: • Messages are prefixed with your organization name (e.g. "[Harris Family Clinic] Complete your intake form before your visit") • Reliable carrier-grade delivery • Delivery status is tracked for every message: sent, delivered, or failed

Question 35

Can I generate QR codes for my waiting room?

Accepted Answer

Question 37

Can I password-protect a form?

Accepted Answer

Yes. In Form Settings, toggle "Password Protection" and enter a password: • Patients are prompted to enter the password before they can see any fields • Password is securely hashed with bcrypt • Useful for internal-only forms, staff surveys, or forms shared with specific patient groups

Question 38

Can I schedule when a form is available?

Accepted Answer

Yes. In Form Settings under Access Control, set an "Opens At" and "Closes At" date and time: • The form automatically becomes available and unavailable at those times • Outside the window, patients see a message that the form is not currently accepting responses • Useful for seasonal intake, event registration, or time-limited surveys

Question 39

Can I customize forms with my practice branding?

Accepted Answer

Question 40

What does white-label mean?

Accepted Answer

White-label means the entire patient-facing experience is branded as your practice, not Formisoft: • Your logo appears on forms and emails • Your brand color is used for all UI elements • Your practice name appears in SMS messages and email subjects • Patients never see the Formisoft brand: it looks like your own system

Question 41

Can I add custom content to my forms?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The "Copy" field type lets you add rich text content anywhere in your form: • Write instructions, section headers, legal text, or practice information • Supports markdown formatting (bold, italic, links, lists) • The consent agreement field also supports rich text for your consent language • Custom HTML headers and footers are available for additional branding

Question 50

Can patients book appointments through my forms?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Add an "Appointment Booking" field using the slash command menu. In the field's settings (gear icon), configure: • Visit duration (15, 30, 45, 60, or 90 minutes) • Visit type (new patient, follow-up, consultation, annual exam, or urgent) • Provider assignment mode: any available, let patient choose, or specific providers Patients see a real-time calendar with available slots based on your schedule. They pick a date and time, and the appointment is created when they submit the form.

Question 51

How does the availability calendar work?

Accepted Answer

Go to Appointments > Preferences to set up your schedule: • Configure operating hours for each day of the week (e.g. Monday–Friday 9am–5pm) • Add provider-specific schedules if providers have different availability • Create overrides for holidays, closures, or special hours (full day or time-specific) • The system automatically calculates available slots based on duration and prevents double-booking

Question 52

How do I send intake forms for an appointment?

Accepted Answer

Open any appointment and click "Send intake forms": • Formisoft generates a magic link (JWT token, valid 7 days) with the patient's context • The email includes your practice branding, the provider name, and links to all assigned forms • Intake status updates to "sent": track whether it's not sent, sent, partially completed, or completed • Patient's known information is pre-filled in the forms For visit types with forms attached, forms are sent automatically when the visit is booked. If they are still not done 48 hours before the visit, an intake reminder goes out.

Question 53

Can I link multiple forms to a single appointment?

Accepted Answer

Yes. When creating or editing an appointment, attach any number of intake forms: • The patient receives all assigned forms as a bundle when you send the intake link • Track completion status per form: see which are done and which are still pending • Review all completed forms before the patient arrives The visit shows as ready once every attached form is submitted.

Question 54

What appointment statuses are available?

Accepted Answer

Seven statuses that map to the appointment lifecycle: • Scheduled: initial state when appointment is created • Confirmed: patient confirmed attendance • Checked-in: patient arrived at the office • In-progress: patient is with the provider • Completed: visit finished • Cancelled: with reason and timestamp • No-show: patient didn't arrive (sends a no-show follow-up if that reminder is on)

Question 55

Does Formisoft have a calendar view for appointments?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Your Appointments page includes a full visual calendar with four views: • Week view: 7-column grid with hourly rows, appointments displayed as color-coded blocks positioned by time and duration, with a red line showing the current time • Day view: single-day timeline, or side-by-side provider columns when you have multiple providers so you can compare schedules at a glance • Month view: traditional month grid with appointment previews in each day cell, click any day to drill into the day view • Agenda view: clean list grouped by date with provider color dots, status badges, and patient names. This is the automatic view on mobile devices Readiness shows on the calendar, so you can see which visits still have forms outstanding. Navigate with prev/next buttons or jump to today. Filter by provider using the dropdown in the header. Overlapping appointments are handled automatically with split-column layouts.

Question 56

Can I set up split schedules with multiple time blocks per day?

Accepted Answer

Yes. In Appointment Preferences, each day supports multiple time blocks. This is perfect for practices with non-continuous hours: • Example: 8:00 AM–10:00 AM (morning block), 11:00 AM–5:00 PM (main hours), 7:00 PM–9:00 PM (evening hours) • Click “Add block” under any day to add another time range • Each block has its own start and end time • Blocks are validated to prevent overlaps • Available time slots shown to patients automatically respect all blocks, and gaps between blocks are not bookable Split schedules work for both organization-wide defaults and individual provider schedules.

Question 57

Can each provider have their own schedule and calendar?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Formisoft supports full multi-provider scheduling: • Each provider (admin or provider role) can have their own working hours, time blocks, and blocked dates • Provider schedules are set in Appointment Preferences using the “Schedule For” dropdown • If a provider doesn’t have a custom schedule, they inherit the organization default • The calendar day view shows side-by-side columns for each provider with color-coded appointments • Filter the calendar by provider to focus on one schedule at a time Each provider is assigned a distinct color that stays consistent across all calendar views.

Question 58

Can patients choose their provider when booking through a form?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The appointment booking field in your intake forms supports three provider modes: • Any available: uses the organization schedule, no provider picker shown to patients • Let patient choose: patients see a list of all providers and pick who they want to see, then available slots are shown based on that provider’s schedule • Specific providers: you select which providers are bookable for this form (e.g. only Dr. Smith and Dr. Jones) This is configured per form field, so you can have different booking forms with different provider options: one for new patients (any provider) and one for follow-ups (let patient choose their existing provider).

Question 59

What automated workflows does Formisoft offer?

Accepted Answer

Formisoft runs the important follow-up automatically. There is no visual workflow builder to set up. What runs on its own: • Intake forms sent at booking, for visit types that have forms attached (Front Desk) • Intake form reminders: 48 hours before the visit, only if forms are not done (every plan, by email) • Appointment reminders: 24 hours before the visit, by SMS or email (Front Desk) • Confirmation messages when a visit is booked (Front Desk) • New patient welcome: 5 minutes after a patient is added (Front Desk) • No-show follow-up: 1 hour after a visit is marked no-show (Front Desk) Turn each reminder on or off in Settings > Reminders. On Front Desk, webhooks, REST API, Zapier, and Keragon can pass events to other systems.

Question 60

How do I enable or configure workflows?

Accepted Answer

Go to Settings > Reminders: • Each reminder has its own on/off switch • Each one shows what it sends and when, for example 48 hours before the visit Intake includes the intake reminder email. Front Desk adds appointment reminders, the welcome message, and the no-show follow-up.

Question 61

How do appointment reminders work?

Accepted Answer

On Front Desk, when the appointment reminder is on, Formisoft sends one before every upcoming appointment: • Sent 24 hours before the visit • Sent by SMS or email • Includes the patient's name, appointment date and time, and your practice name No manual action needed. Pending forms get their own intake reminder 48 hours before the visit.

Question 62

How do intake reminders work?

Accepted Answer

If a patient hasn't completed their intake forms, Formisoft sends an automatic reminder: • Sent 48 hours before the appointment • Includes a magic link that takes the patient directly to their pending forms • Only sent if forms are still pending. Patients who already finished intake are not reminded • Included on every plan, by email Your dashboard shows who is still not ready for today and tomorrow, with a one-tap Remind if you want to nudge them yourself.

Question 63

How do no-show follow-ups work?

Accepted Answer

On Front Desk, when an appointment is marked as "no-show": • A follow-up message is sent automatically 1 hour later • Sent by email or SMS • It says you missed them and invites them to pick a new time The tone is caring, not punitive. Turn it on or off in Settings > Reminders.

Question 64

How do new patient welcome messages work?

Accepted Answer

On Front Desk, when a new patient record is created (manually or via form submission): • A short welcome message is sent 5 minutes later • It welcomes the patient to your practice and invites questions before the visit • Turn it on or off in Settings > Reminders
