Set Up the Journals Feature

PracticeQ allows you to send forms to your clients that act as journal entries. Set them to automatically send to clients at certain intervals for use as food logs, exercise logs or therapy journal prompts.

Watch the short video or ready the instructions below to learn more.

Enable the Journals Feature

1. Click More → Settings → Features.
2. Click the Enable Journals button.

Create a Journal Form Template

• In order to use the journals feature, you must first create a form template.
• Journals require an Intake Questionnaire. Journals will not function with treatment notes (consent forms can still be attached as needed). 
• If you require any assistance in creating these types of forms, please see the following guide: How to Create Intake Questionnaires and/or Treatment Notes

Once you have the intake questionnaire created, follow the steps below:

1. Click My Forms and open the form template you would like to use.
2. Click the three dots icon and select Settings.
3. Check the box labeled Use this form as a journal entry. This will open two additional fields:
4. Set How many entries should clients submit? and How often should an entry be submitted? from the dropdown menus.

Note: The number of entries to be submitted can be changed when sending a journal to a specific client.
