Configuring SOAP Note Custom Properties
This resource reviews how to set up SOAP Note custom properties. Custom properties allow organizations to tailor SOAP note templates to best support their workflows and documentation requirements.
The selected property type determines how the property functions within the note. Depending on the property type, the field may either:
- Generate information automatically within the note, or
- Create a fillable field for staff to complete while documenting
For fillable fields, both the property name and value can be customized. For automatically generated properties, only the property name can be customized, as the value is populated by the system.
Accessing SOAP Note Properties
To configure custom properties:
- Navigate to Site Settings
- Select SOAP Notes
- Click SOAP Note Properties
From this page, you can create a new property, assign a custom title, and select the appropriate control type.
Editing or Deleting Properties
After a property has been created:
- Use the pencil icon to edit the property at any time
- Use the trash can icon to delete the property, provided it has not yet been added to a SOAP note template
This flexibility allows administrators to refine templates as documentation needs evolve.
