How to Create a Document

Jump supports creating documents through multiple providers. The available options depend on which integrations your practice has connected.

How to Get There

Start from any of these entry points:

  • Patient sidebar > Create Document button
  • Command palette (Ctrl+K / Cmd+K) > search for "Create Document"
  • Quick actions in the patient record

Choosing a Provider

If your practice has multiple document providers connected, you will see a selection screen:

  • Jump - "Create and edit documents with the built-in editor". Full-featured editor with merge fields, branding, and templates
  • Google Drive - "Create documents in Google Drive with templates". Opens in Google Docs
  • SharePoint - "Create documents in Microsoft SharePoint". Opens in Microsoft 365

If only one provider is available, you are taken directly to that provider's creation flow.

Creating a Jump Document

  1. Select a patient (if not already in a patient context)
  2. Enter document details:
    • Document title (required)
    • Document type - optionally tag with a SNOMED clinical document type (e.g. Clinical consultation report, Referral letter)
    • Clinician - the authoring clinician
    • Appointment - link to an appointment for context
    • Choose Template or Blank to start
  3. Edit the document in the built-in editor with formatting, merge fields, and branding
  4. Save the document

Creating a Letter (Google Drive)

  1. Select a patient
  2. Enter letter details and choose a template
  3. The document opens in Google Docs for editing
  4. Changes sync back to Jump automatically

Tip: Documents created from within a consultation are automatically linked to that consultation in the patient record.

Note: Documents can be saved to Google Drive or Microsoft SharePoint if either integration is connected. See the Google Drive or Microsoft SharePoint articles in Integrations & Apps for setup.
