Your default template is automatically applied when creating new clinical notes, saving you time and ensuring consistency in your documentation.


Setting a Template as Default


Follow these steps to set any of your favorite templates as your default:


Step 1: Navigate to Template Management

  • Go to the Manage Templates page in your workspace by clicking on the link in the left sidebar

  • Make sure you're on the My Favorites tab


Step 2: Locate Your Template


Use the search bar at the top of the page to quickly find your template, or browse through your favorites list.

Note: Only templates in your "My Favorites" list can be set as default. If you want to use a template from the Template Library as your default, you'll need to add it to your favorites first by clicking the star icon.


Step 3: Access Template Options


1. Find the template you want to set as default in the table

2. Click the three-dot menu icon (⋮) in the Actions column on the right side of the template row


Step 4: Set as Default


  • From the menu that appears, select Set as Default

  • The template will immediately become your default

  • You'll see a blue checkmark icon (✓) appear in the "Default" column next to your selected template
