The Jump document editor is a rich text editor for creating clinical documents with formatting, dynamic content, and branding.
The toolbar at the top of the editor provides:
Selecting text also shows a bubble menu with quick formatting options.
Merge fields are dynamic placeholders that resolve to real patient, clinician, or practice data when the document is saved or exported.
To insert a merge field:
Merge fields appear as highlighted badges in the editor. They are grouped into categories: Patient, Practice, Clinician, Appointment, Recipient, System, Referral, and Links.
If any merge fields cannot be resolved (e.g. the patient has no NHS number), a validation banner highlights the issue before saving.
The left sidebar provides quick pickers for context:
Click the sparkle icon in the toolbar to use the AI Writing Assistant. It can generate draft content based on the patient's clinical context, selected problems, and recipient. You can refine the generated content in the editor.
The editor shows A4 page boundary indicators so you can see where page breaks will fall in the exported document. Headers and footers from the document design are applied automatically.
Tip: Use merge fields for patient details rather than typing them manually. This ensures accuracy and means templates can be reused across patients.
