Creating sendable forms in Bookem

There are two types of fields in a sendable form:

  1. Fields stored only on the form: These are not saved to the client profile but are filled in automatically when the form is submitted. They’re useful for details like indemnity clauses or client signatures.

  2. Fields that merge with the client’s profile: These fields are stored in the client profile and are automatically filled in when the form is submitted. They’re useful for recurring information, such as medical aid details, which can automatically appear on an invoice.
