Create Form Templates from XML Files

To avoid creating all form templates from scratch, you can create them by importing an XML formatted file into the Form Template master file. The file must be an XML document in Form Template format. To share form templates with others, you can export existing form templates to XML files. Importing and exporting are helpful when you need to share forms with external sources. For example, if another NextGen Healthcare client creates a form template that you want to use, the other client can export it to XML and send it to you. You can then import the XML into the Form Templates master file. Note: To ensure that the fields in the file you want to import are compatible with your current database, your database must be the same version or newer than the database of the file you want to import. If your current version of your database is older than the new template version, import will fail. To import an XML file: On the Form Template List window, select Open Menu , and then select Import.
