Written by Melissa Duarte

In Instinct EMR and Instinct Treatment Plan, you can edit a task, add notes to it, void it, or review its full change history from the Task List.


Edit a task or add notes

  1. Select Task List from the left navigation panel.

  2. Find the task, click the 3-dot menu next to the task, then select Edit or Add Note.

  3. Update the task details or add a note, then select Save.

Notes appear between the task description and the patient information.


Void a task

  1. Click the 3-dot menu next to the task.

  2. Select Void or Status → Voided.

  3. Enter a reason for voiding the task.

  4. Confirm by selecting the checkmark.

Unvoid a task

  1. Click the 3-dot menu next to the task.

  2. Select Undo Void.

  3. The unvoided task is placed back in the To-do section, with the void reason still visible.

  4. The void reason can be removed by clicking the void reason field and clearing the field, then selecting the checkmark to save.

Note: You must enter a reason when you void a task. Voided tasks can be found in the Voided status section of the task list. Completed tasks cannot be voided.
