Case notes allow you to create notes from a client's session. You can insert images, audio files, and body charts into the case note, as well as apply templates to speed up note-taking time.
💡 Case notes comply with MedicoLegal standards and cannot be edited once saved. Consider using Draft Notes until you're ready to finalise the note.
🛑 Case notes may not save if the note contains special characters such as ' , / - & $ () {} | etc. Try removing these special characters and saving the note again.
