How do I make patient fields required or optional (national ID, address…)?

Short answer: the clinic owner opens Settings → Clinic → Advanced and adds or removes fields in Required Fields for Patient Form, then clicks Update.

Only the Owners group can open the Advanced tab.

Open the advanced settings

Go to Settings → Clinic → Advanced and find the Patients section.

Choose the required fields

In Required Fields for Patient Form, add a field (for example National ID) to make it required, or remove it to make it optional.

Click Update

The change applies to you right away, and to other users when their page reloads.

Patients section of the advanced settings

First Name, Last Name and Phone Number are always required. Required fields also apply on the patient’s QR self-registration page.

National ID rejected as “wrong format”? Turn off Force National ID Validation (For Egypt And Saudi Arabia) in the same section to accept any text.
