Overview
Group note functionality allows you to document what happened in a group setting and document on more than one client at a time. These instructions will walk you through how to create a group note when there is no service line involved (when a service line is involved you will want to record this information from the Time module).
Select the Group

- Click Add.
- A document selection window will open.
- Click Add Group Note.

Important: You must select a document that was designed with Group note functionality, typically that means the word group note is in the name field.
