About form properties

Use form properties to configure the information of a form. There are different types of form properties. It is important that you know about the different types of properties.

A new SmartFlow site always has default properties. SmartFlow can automatically sync the data of each default property from the patient information area of a flowsheet to the form. For example, if you made a consent form and the form has the Patient name property, SmartFlow automatically enters the patient name. As a result, it is not necessary for the client to manually enter the data.
Note: You cannot remove a default property.

This table shows the properties that you can use to automatically enter data, and the internal name of the property:
