Step-by-Step Tutorial:

  1. Log in to your Healthy Roster account and click on the Admin tab on your left navigation bar
     
  1. Click on the arrow next to Background Questions
     
  1. Click on Questions
     
  1. Click Add
     
  1. Select which type of question you'd like to create
     
  1. Fill out information needed
    1. Prompt: is where you will type out your question
    2. Placeholder: is a description of the action ex: “enter weight in lbs. here”
    3. If you've selected a "Select List" you will need to add options:
       
  1. Display text - prompt
  2. Allow for freeform - Letting the user type in more than what the recorded value is. Yes = yes and No = no. Or coding - Think of ICD10 codes or CPT codes - you might put the value as the description, but the recorded value will be the actual code. You will select the 'allow free form text' if you have another value listed such as 'other' or if you would like to user to have the option to comment on their answer
  3. Recorded value - what you'd like to generate on reporting
  4. Click on OK
