Is it possible for a button within a form to launch a completely new document or only a new form within the same document. Thanks!
It depends on what exactly you want to do, generally no you can't open a new chart update from within an existing chart update. If you are looking to do something like open a questionnaire and save it as a separate document you could look into visual signature capture, a product from logical innovations. They allow you to open document in a webpage from a button on a form, and when you are done they are filed as a separate chart document. There are a few other products that do something similar as well, but that's one we use that is effective.
We have a separate document for PT orders and someone asked me if a button could be added into the form we use for a patient's visit to launch the appropriate PT order document. I told them I didn't think that was possible but wanted to look into it. Sounds like I was correct. Thanks!
If I'm understanding you correctly, you can put a button on a form to launch another form within your current document. We have several that do that. You would want to use the Connection Type of ADD_FORM_COMP, choose where you want the Placement of the form would be and then put in the Form Path. Take a look at that and see if that would accomplish what you want to do.
