What body chart templates are

Body Chart Templates are the base diagrams — front, back, head, chest, and whatever else your clinic needs — that become available to choose from when a clinician annotates a patient's body chart. This page is where you build and manage that gallery of diagrams. It's a template-management page: uploading images, naming them, and keeping the gallery organized.

What you'll learn
  • How to upload a new body chart template
  • How to name and organize templates in the gallery
  • How to edit or remove an existing template
  • Where these templates get used

This page manages the diagrams, not the annotation tool This settings page only covers uploading and organizing the base diagrams. The pen, eraser, text, pan, zoom, and color tools used to actually mark up a diagram on a patient's record are covered in the Patient Record: Clinical Tab article.

Uploading a new template

1

Open Body Chart Templates

Go to <strong>Settings > Body Chart Templates</strong>.

2

Add a new template

Start a new template and upload the base diagram image you want clinicians to be able to annotate, such as a front-view or back-view body outline.

3

Name the template

Give it a clear, specific name — for example <strong>Front — full body</strong> or <strong>Head — lateral</strong> — so clinicians can quickly pick the right one while charting.

4

Save

Save the template to add it to the gallery and make it available for selection when a body chart field is filled in.

As you add more diagrams, keep names consistent and specific — clinicians choose a template by name when they add a body chart to a patient record, so a clear naming convention (region plus view, for example) makes the right diagram easy to find at a glance.

  • Upload separate templates for each region or view you want available, such as front, back, head, chest, or a specific joint.
  • Edit an existing template to change its name or replace its image.
  • Remove a template you no longer want clinicians to see in the picker.
Removing a template doesn't touch existing annotations Removing a template from the gallery only affects what's available to choose going forward. Body charts already saved on a patient's record keep their diagram and markings as they were.

Where these templates are used

Every diagram you upload here shows up as a choice when a clinician fills in a Body chart field on a patient's record — whether that field is part of a patient form or added directly from the Clinical tab. Picking a template loads that diagram into the annotator, where the clinician marks it up with the pen, text, and other drawing tools.
