Custom forms

Most clinic-specific customization in Tenelix happens in the form builder. Forms power patient registration, intake, custom protocols, and any other data-capture surface.

Field types

The form builder supports:

• Text, number, date, time, datetime
• Select (single, multi)
• Boolean (toggle, checkbox)
• Long text (multiline)
• File attachment
• Signature pad
• Repeating groups

Each field has type-appropriate validation, conditional visibility, and per-role permissions.

Lifecycle

Forms have a state machine:

• draft — editable, not visible to users
• published — live, accepting submissions
• archived — read-only, historical submissions preserved

Editing a published form with submissions triggers auto-versioning — the previous version is preserved alongside its historical submissions, and a new version is created for future submissions.

Audit

Every form lifecycle event (publish, version, archive) is recorded in the forms audit log. Submissions are protected against accidental deletion, so historical data is never orphaned.

Best practice

Keep forms small and focused. A patient registration form should not include intake-of-the-day fields. Build a separate intake form per visit type, and assign it from the appointment.
