Customize forms to suit your needs
You can customize forms for each Organizer to suit your needs and print them. We prepared some forms for you already (medical exam, order, etc.). You define the content, header, and footer to suit your needs.
Where can you find the forms?
The administrator can create forms for each Organizer in the administration section in the "Datasheets" (Organizers) tab. Select the Organizer, scroll down, and click on "Manage print forms".

The list of variables (details) can be expanded with details from other Organizers if there is a connection leading to them by clicking on the "+" button and overall document properties. Drag & drop elements within the menu panel to rearrange them. The panel width can be adjusted by dragging the right side of the panel

How to display elements and configure them
Drag and drop the elements from the menu bar into the document space. Select the element by clicking on it in the document space. Change settings of the selected element in the configuration panel. You can adjust settings for multiple elements at once by selecting them using your mouse or holding the SHIFT key and clicking on elements.
Elements
- Text - a text element can consist of static text, values (details), or a combination of both; we recommend you use a separate field for text and values because all the fields with values are emptied during a template export
- Horizontal line - a simple design element that can be adjusted in regards to its width, height, and color
- Image - upload any image in jpg or png. When printing, images are scaled proportionally to keep the aspect ratio and maintain printing quality. Thus, an image can be resized max. to its actual height and width (no stretching)
- Table - click on the table to select it, click on a table cell twice to select the cell
- Frame - a container for other elements and stretches according to its contents. It can be used to group elements and keep them together (a frame doesn't split on page break) and to apply a border or background to the whole frame
- Section - a section can contain multiple elements to be grouped
- Page break - a manual page break
Document properties
- Page format - select the page format or define your own
- Orientation - select a portrait or landscape orientation
- Content height - here, you can change the content height in pixels; we recommend you leave this field empty (to not change the default value) and change it only in case you need to create a multipage form with the help of the page break element
- Page margins - enter the page margins for the printable area, the elements cannot be moved past this area
- Header - set the height of the header in pixels, its display settings, or turn off the header completely
- Footer - set the height of the footer in pixels, its display settings, or turn off the footer completely
Open form editing
