Introduction to Community templates

Templates are blueprints that Heidi uses to define your preferred structure and style for notes and documents, so that they sound just like you. Instead of creating a template from scratch, Community templates gives you access to a public library of custom templates that have been created by other clinicians using Heidi.

  1. To browse Community templates, click Templates then Community.



2. Search for templates based on the specialty, region, and category of template you need. To refine your results, sort by Most popular to see which templates are being used the most frequently by other providers or Most recent to see the newest templates.

3. Once you find the custom template that works for you, click into the template, then press Use template to add it to your personal library.

Is it free to use Community Templates?

You can browse the community, and add the templates to your library. However, the use of Community Templates that have been added to your library are restricted as a Pro Action in the Free Forever plan. The use of a community template as a note, or to create a document is considered a Pro Action.


Editing Community templates

You can either begin using a Community template immediately or you customise it further so the template fits your exact needs.

To edit Community templates:

  1. Make sure you’ve already added the Community template you want to edit to My templates via the Use template button.

  2. Access your templates by clicking Templates in your sidebar, then click on My templates. (Recently saved templates will appear at the top of the list. Alternatively, scroll through your templates until you find the one you want to edit.)

3. Click on the template to open the template editor. Make any adjustments you’d like and then click on Save for later.

4. If this is a template you’ll be using often during your sessions, you have the option of selecting Make default to set it as your default template.

Your changes have been saved and your personalised template is now ready for use during your next session!
