How to link multiple forms

Step 1. In order to link multiple forms go to the “Workflows” tab:

Step 2. Click on “Create Workflow” button:

Step 3. In the “Create Workflow” window, you can select the forms that you want to link in a workflow. Additionally, you can choose the specific location for your workflow and the format of the printable PDF. For the printable PDF of the filled-out workflow, you have a choice between a “merged” PDF containing all the forms in a workflow or a specific form if only one form needs to be printed.

Step 4. In addition to linking multiple forms, you can also connect any field in the selected forms using HIPAAtizer Workflow. To do that select the “Add relation between components in the forms” checkbox. For example, if you have any repeatable fields such as first name, you can connect them in the settings. When your clients fill out the form, they will only have to input their first name once. In the next forms, their first name will be prefilled, making the form-filling process more streamlined and efficient. Click on the “Add Row” button to connect more fields.

Step 5. Upon clicking the “Create” button, the modal window closes and a newly created workflow appears in the dashboard:

How to manage Workflow Forms submissions

Step 2. And they can view the relevant submissions (in this example, there is only one submission):

Hint! To make it easier to find submissions, users should add one or more additional columns to add specific fields, such as a last name. For this, click on the “Additional Columns” section:

A dropdown window appears that shows the fields that can be added to the Submissions dashboard as an additional column in the table. This allows the user to quickly access a submission for further processing:
