Snippets allow you to quickly insert commonly used phrases into your notes using simple keywords. Follow the steps below to create and start using your own.


Step 1: Navigate to Snippets

  • Go to My Account (Click your initials in the top-right corner)

  • Click Settings

  • Click Snippets from the left-hand menu

You’ll land on the Snippets page, where you can view and manage all of your saved Snippets.


Step 2: Create a New Snippet

  • Click New Snippet in the top-right

  • In the pop-up:

    • Name: Enter your shortcut (e.g., /nosci)

    • Content: Add the full text you want inserted (e.g., “No suicidal ideations, no homicidal ideations, no auditory or visual hallucinations”)

  • Click Create snippet

Your snippet is now saved and ready to use! You can edit and delete pre-existing Snippets at any time.


Step 3: Use Your Snippet in a Progress Note

  • While editing a Progress Note, type the "/" key followed by your Snippet name (e.g., /nosci)

  • Select the Snippet from the dropdown

  • The full text will automatically populate in your note


Tips & best practices

  • Use Snippets for frequently repeated language, such as risk assessments, medication notes, and standard phrasing

  • Each user can create their own custom Snippets
