A quick-insert tool for boiler-plate phrases in chart notes.

​
What is it?

Text Snippets adds a lightweight ”/” command palette to every text-entry field in the chart-note form. Clinicians can drop pre-saved phrases (e.g., “Shoulder: full ROM”) with a click or a single Tab — no more re-typing the same assessment dozens of times per day.

​
Using snippets inside a note

Example flow
  • Type Hip /
  • Press ↓ to highlight “Hip: tender to palpation”
  • Press Tab → the phrase is inserted, the caret moves to the end, and the palette closes
Search bar
  • Opens automatically after /
  • Filters across all labels and groups
  • Prefix with group: to filter (e.g., /MSK:)
Group → snippet drill-down
  • Selecting a group tile shows only that group’s snippets
  • A chip in the header shows the active group; click ”×” to clear

Managing snippets (Admin & power users)

  1. Navigate to Profile → Preferences → Text Snippets.
  2. Click “Add Snippet” or edit an existing one.
  3. Fill in:
    • Title (required, no : or double-spaces)
    • Group (optional, same restrictions)
    • Snippet text (required)
  4. Click Save.
Note: The drawer closes only after a successful save, and inline validation errors appear if any rules are broken. The “Other” group always displays last.

Tips & best practices

  • Autosize inputs: In Minimal design, single-line snippet fields auto-grow.
  • Clipboard helper: The trailing clipboard icon copies read-only field values.
  • Mobile friendly: The palette respects virtual keyboards.
  • Accessibility: The ”/” icon is skipped in tab order; keyboard users rely on the slash.
