How do I set up goals and medications that expire?

Expired records, configuration in forms

Key Points

  • To make goals or medications expire, you need two forms: a Case Notes form with a lookup field, and a Goals/Medication form with an expiry checkbox field.

  • On the Case Notes lookup field, pull in at least one label from the goal form and add Condition: Ignore Expired Records.

  • On the Goals form, set the Goal expired? field as a checkbox (single) and add the expiry and record system tags in the Advanced tab.

  • Click Apply Settings and Save Form after each change, then test with one expired and one active record.

  • The Ignore Expired Records condition doesn't reference the status of a record.

Goals and medications sometimes need to expire. This article will show how to set up expired records

There will be two forms required for this set up. Typically, this is used for Case Notes and Goals/Medication. You are welcome to utilise this for other setups.

Setting up Case Notes

A form called 'case notes', 'communication notes', 'progress notes', etc should be in your FlowLogic system already. Every system is different, so check yours to confirm.

The Case Notes form should have a lookup field. the setup needs to pull in at least one label from the goal form, and 'Condition: Ignore Expired Records'.

Make sure to Apply Settings and Save Form after configuration

Note: the 'Condition: Ignore expired records' does not reference the status of a record.

Setting up Goals

Your goals form should be set up in your FlowLogic system. If you do, please ensure that it has the 'Goal expired?' field. the field can be named differently, but configuration should remain the same.

The 'Show Value in Table View' allows you to see from the record table if this is expired. The 'Replace Value with Input' allows you to change specific fields from the same table view - just remember to save!

Test it out

The next stage is to ensure it works. Set up one record as expired and show another as not expired.

When you test in your case note/progress note, you should see one, and not the other.
