Overview

Text Templates in v10 can prove to be an effective way to introduce flexibility when attempting to transition paper forms or office note templates into electronic format. Forms or situations that typically lend themselves very well to Text Templates are multiple choice scenarios, fill in the blanks, or even pre-defined sets of text that would not require any manual intervention. Text Templates accomplish this by combining the use of free text fields, multiple choice, optional text, and database merge fields into a defined syntax that TouchWorks acknowledges.

Syntax

  • [ ] = Free Text Field (if populated with text becomes a multiple choice or list option)
  • {{{ }}} = Optional Text Brackets
  • ~Fieldname~ = database merge field
