This guide was developed to provide an overview of how to create Progress Report properties and templates as well as how to generate a Progress Report for a client within MeasurePM.
Overview
The MeasurePM Progress Report feature is designed to allow users to seamlessly create client Authorization Requests and client progress reports, and reports of similar purposes. The following work-flow can be followed:
- Sites create their own template library, to serve the various reporting purposes and template requirements for their funders.
- Providers choose from their template library to generate reports for their clients, and then customize them to complete the reports. They are saved in Draft status
- Feedback cycle (Upon request from MeasurePM*):
- A provider alerts their supervisors that a report is generated and ready for review
- Supervisor reviews report and provides feedback embedded in the report in the form of comments
- Provider views the comments and can respond. Provider makes changes as necessary.
- Report can be changed to finalize status to lock editing without granted permission
- Report can be published to the parent portal to obtain a signature, and allow parents to keep for their records
- Reports can be exported to word or PDF, to be sent to funder
* This feature is available for your site upon request by your site administrator. Please contact support@meaurepm.com for activation.

Facility Templates
Creating Facility Templates
Templates are created using a combination of 3 functions:
- Text: You can write in standard text or prompts to providers, that can be edited in the client generated report.
- Custom Properties: Ways to obtain information by prompting your providers with choices, or altering system properties. This includes checkboxes, date pickers, signatures, and customized Program and Behavior reporting
- System Properties: These are automated fields that the system will pull from another area of the system, or information already stored for the site, client, provider, etc. Examples include Client Name, Provider NPI, and Parent Signature.
1. Progress Report Custom Property Creation
To create custom properties, navigate to Clinical Settings>Progress Report Properties. The purpose of these custom properties is to guide your staff in choices when generating reports and prompt them to fill out specific required information, or to provide more customization with program/behavior.
You can create the following types of properties (also known as entries, controls, or fields):
Type | Description |
Checkbox | A checkbox will appear on the report, and users can select or unselect that single checkbox when generating the report. When this type of property is exported to Word or PDF, and X will appear instead of the checkbox if it was selected. Nothing will appear next to the checkbox if it was not selected. Example:
|
Checkbox List | A list of options for users to select from will appear on the report and all that apply can be selected. All unselected options will still remain visible on the report but will appear unselected. Alternatively, if the user would like to remove the additional checkbox options, they can do so manually. When this type of property is exported to Word or PDF, an X will appear next to the choice/s that the user has selected, and nothing will appear next to those that were not selected. Example:
|
Date Picker | When generating a report, users can manually select a date with this property. Once the report is exported, the property outline will be removed and only the date will remain. Example: |
Signature | This property allows manual entry of a signature on the report. Once exported to PDF or Word, the property outline will be removed. This signature is intended for the provider/s to sign within the report generated for a client. Parent signature requires a system property (please see later in this guide) and is signed via parent portal. Example: |
Text Box | This property allows manually entering of short text (i.e., a few words) on the report. Once exported, the property outline will be removed.
|
Text Area | This property allows manually entering of a large amount of text on the report. It does not allow users to format the text within it (i.e., users cannot divide text into different lines, and cannot create bulleted lists). Once exported, the property outline will be removed. Example: |
Programs | Through this property, the site creates the tables for how the site desires to report on programs. Instructions on how to create these tables is found later in this guide. |
Behavior | Through this property, the site creates the tables for how the site desires to report on behaviors. Instructions on how to create these tables is found later in this guide. |
To create a custom property, select Progress Report Properties from the left hand navigation menu.
Start by entering a Label (title) for your property, then select what type of control the property should have. All controls listed in the table above will be available.
If you select CheckBox List, you will need to enter the values you would like to be available for selection. Do so by entering all value separated by a comma (no space), and then select Save.
Once saved, your custom property will appear in your Custom Properties list and be available for selection when creating any template across your site.
You can edit the property at any point by selecting the pencil icon. Once the changes are made, select the to save or select the to discard the changes. The changes will apply to ALL existing and new templates, but will not impact any report already generated for a client.
For Programs and Behaviors, there is a necessary additional step of configuring the tables. Select Configure (1), and access the Pop-up. Within Configure Program Tables (2), select the fields that should populate into the table when it is generated. You can add additional rows, and select which statuses should be included. Within the Set Custom Order tab (3), you can rearrange the order as desired. Selecting Save within the popup (4) will close the Pop-up, and selecting SAVE on the main screen (5) is required in order to save the entire configuration.
Please Note: These custom properties are similar to SOAP note properties within MeasurePM. However, there are a few major differences. With progress reports:
- There is no limit to the amount of times a property can be used within the same report.
- Properties can be edited in the report itself.
- Property labels/names do not appear on the report, allowing you to label them with any desired wording or headers
2. Progress Report Template Creation
On this page, you can create new templates for your facility template library and/or edit existing templates.
Preview
Select the “Preview” button to view the template the way it will be viewed when a provider generates it for a client.
Edit
Select the pencil icon to edit an existing template. The existing template your site created will populate, and editing can be done. Edits made will NOT impact any previously generated report for a client; The changes will only be reflected in client reports generated after the template changes were made.
Add
Select “Add New Template” to add a new template. When selected, a blank template will open. There is no limit to how many templates one site can build and utilize.
Adding new template/ Editing existing template
When adding or editing a template, the format to edit/ add properties will be the same. At the top of the page, you will need to title the template. This title will become the title for the report once it is generated for the client. Next you will have the option to copy from an existing template. Selecting this will populate all information from an existing template, as an efficient way to make similar templates. Once it is copied, you can edit the template freely without it having any impact of the template it was copied from.
Next you can start adding to your blank template or editing the one it was copied from. You will be able to type freely into the provided page outline, edit the text, and format as needed. At any point, you can add custom properties (properties set by your facility) and/or system properties (automated properties provided by MeasurePM) into the template. To add custom or system properties, use the applicable dropdown menu and select the property you would like to add to the report.
The property will be added to the report once selected in the location of the cursor. Once added, users are able to edit and move the properties in the same manner as editing text (using the tool bar above). With this you can edit the text position, the font style and size, the font or background color, adding headings, tables, lists, etc. In addition to adding properties and typing text into the template, users can also copy and paste text from external locations as needed.
Below are examples of System Properties Measure offers are listed below. This does not reflect the full comprehensive list of System Properties Measure has. Following there are images of what these properties look like on the template side as well as what it looks like on the generated report.
Property | Description |
Company Logo | This property will automatically display your company logo on the report. |
Client Full Name | This property will automatically populate the client’s full name for you. This information is taken from the client biography page. |

Generating Clients Reports
Once a template has been created, users with permission are able to generate the report for a client. If permission is granted, a Progress Reports widget will be present on the Client Dashboard.
You can find this widget by:
- Select Clients from the left-hand navigation bar.
- From the Clients dropdown menu, select List Clients.
- From there, find the desired client
- Once you have found the client you are searching for, select the client’s name. This will bring you to the client dashboard on the web.
- Scroll down until you see the Progress Report widget as seen below.
All reports previously generated and saved reports will be listed in the widget. Beside the report name it will indicate the status (Draft or Finalized) and the date it was created. To edit or view an existing report, select the pencil icon. This will open the report and you can make changes as needed. However, if the report is in Finalized status, only viewing will be available unless you have permission to return the report to a draft.
Creating New Reports
To create a new report, select the “+”
A pop- up will appear where you will be able to generate a report.
- Select the client profile- If your client has multiple client profiles, they will have multiple choices in this menu. Select the applicable client profile based on the purpose of the report (which funding source, treatment type, etc.). You must select the client profile prior to selecting the template.
- Select the authorization- If your client has multiple authorizations for the selected profile, they will have multiple choices in this menu. Select the applicable authorization based on the purpose of the report. You must select the authorization prior to selecting the template.
- This will automatically generate the date range. If you wish to change the date range to a narrower scope than the authorization, you can manually do so. You are not able to change the date range wider than the scope of the authorization.
- Select the Progress Report Template- Select the template from your facility’s template library which is applicable to the report you would like to generate. Note: Only templates set up by your facility will be available for selection.
Once all selections are made, the report will generate for you. An example is seen below.
All system properties and text populate based on the template. You will be able to edit all information and fill in any required custom properties. In addition, you will be able to add images by copying and pasting them into the report or by adding them from the client files widget for that client. Please note that when added from files, the image will be able to be resized, whereas when added from copy + paste, the image cannot be resized.
Adding Client Files to the Client Report
To add client files, first upload your images into client Files on the client dashboard. Select the + in the top righthand corner of the widget to add a new file.
Please note that only png, gif, jpg, and jpeg files are supported to add into progress reports at this time. If any of the corresponding file types are uploaded into the Files widget, they will be available for selection from the Client Files Drop down menu on the Progress Report generator. Before adding a file to the report, you will be able to see a preview of the image. Once you select the file to add to the report, it will automatically be added wherever your cursor is.
Once the image is added, you can resize it by clicking and dragging on the bottom righthand corner. You will also be able to reposition (i.e., center image) the image as needed.
