Overview:

Creating a custom field in Eka Scribe allows users to personalize documentation based on their workflow or specialty needs. By adding custom fields, doctors or staff can capture specific data points that are not available in the default template—such as additional patient details, clinical observations, or custom notes. This improves data accuracy, enhances reporting, and ensures the system aligns better with individual practice requirements.

Description:

To create a custom field in Eka Scribe, the user needs to access the configuration or template management section of the platform. From there, select the relevant module (such as prescription, consultation, or notes) where the custom field is required. Click on the option to add a new field, then define the field name, choose the appropriate field type (e.g., text box, dropdown, checkbox, date), and configure any necessary properties like mandatory status or default values. Once saved, the custom field will be available in the selected workflow, allowing users to capture additional, practice-specific information efficiently.
