Preview Screen

Clicking the Preview button in the Editor screen opens up a new browser tab with The Preview screen. Each time you change a form in the Editor screen, the changes will automatically be reflected in the Preview screen, in real-time.

The Preview screen lets you:

  • check/validate how a form looks and acts like in real-time,
  • configure a form's variables,
  • see how composition values change in real time,
  • save data as a composition to the EHR server,
  • review how a form is rendered with different display properties and parameters.

In the Preview screen, you are able to:

  • validate a form,
  • input data to a form and save a composition,
  • review how a form renders on desktop, tablet, and mobile devices or a custom-sized screen,
  • test interactions between different parts of a form, and
  • change display and context parameters.
