YAPI Document Integration Options
The following options are intended to coincide with the use of integrated forms. Forms that use these question types can only actively be integrated if the PMS Integrated checkbox is enabled and the associated Practice Managements Software is selected.
Warning! These form types must only be used when creating their respective Patient Information or Medical History forms. These form types cannot be combined into one form. Each Integration option will be labeled to reflect which option is associated with each form type. Failure to apply the correct type to assigned form will result in a failure in integration.

Adding Content
At the bottom of the Form Builder window is an Add button. Clicking on the Add button will introduce a drop-down window that will give a list of questions to introduce into the form.
With the Question type added, double-clicking the row will open up a window associated with the question type with its own field and options.
As an addition, an integrated form must NOT be scrollable so as to avoid breaking the integration.
The following Question types are useful options to choose from to introduce integrated questions into integrated forms.
