Invite a Patient to TruForm

      5. Form Selection
         • At least one form must be selected before you can invite a patient, noting you can select as many active forms as needed for the patient to fill out!
         • If you select any CONSENT forms, you will have additional form fields that MUST be filled out- see here for further instructions.
           
   2. Additionally, you will have further non-required field options which you can choose to fill-out:

            • Note:  You can use this to quickly create a form submission, bypassing notification to the patient (if they are already in office, and will complete these forms from their phone or your practices computer/tablet).
            • Note:  If you select this No Notification option, all other Form Invite and Reminders options will become de-active.
