Your Own Diagrams and Diagrams in Templates

Upload your own charts — an ear map, a foot chart, a preferred body figure — and draw on them like the body chart; then place any diagram inside a consultation template so it sits in the note.

Your Own Diagrams and Diagrams in Templates

Daobook's body chart and tongue diagram are drawn on from the View Diagrams panel of any consultation. Two things build on that: your business can add its own charts and draw on them the same way, and any diagram can be placed inside a consultation template, so it sits in the note at the spot you choose and saves as you draw.


Part 1: Add Your Own Diagram

Your own diagrams are shared with everyone at your business. Owners and admins manage them.

Step 1: Open the Diagrams card

Go to Settings > Notifications & Templates tab > Consultation Templates and scroll to the Diagrams card. It lists the diagrams your business has added, with the number of views each has.

Step 2: Add the diagram

Click "Add diagram". Give it a Name (for example "Ear chart"), then add up to four images, each with a short Label — "Left ear" and "Right ear", or "Front" and "Back". Images must be PNG, JPEG or WebP; large ones are shrunk to 2000 pixels automatically. Click "Add diagram" to save.

Only upload artwork you have the right to use — uploaded charts are your responsibility, like client documents.

Step 3: Draw on it

Open any consultation, click "View Diagrams", and your diagram is a card alongside Tongue Diagnosis and Body Chart. Click it, draw where the finding is, and type a short label after each stroke — exactly as on the body chart.


Part 2: Place a Diagram in a Template

Step 1: Add a Diagram field

In Consultation Templates, click "Edit" on one of your templates. On the note in the middle, pick the field the diagram should follow, then click "Diagram" under Fields on the left. In its settings on the right, type a label such as "Pain chart" or "Ear points", and under Which diagram pick Body Chart, Tongue Diagnosis, or one of your own diagrams. Click "Save Template".

Step 2: Draw in the note

On a consultation using that template, the diagram appears at that point in the note with its view buttons and pen tools above it. There is no Save button here — every stroke, undo or clear saves on its own, and a small "Saved" appears in the corner.

Colour, Size and "Ask for a label" are your own settings: change them once, on any diagram, and they stay that way for you on every device. Untick "Ask for a label" if you just want to draw lines without a box appearing after each stroke.

The View Diagrams panel still lists the diagram; its card now reads "In the note — click to go to it" and scrolls you there. On the finished consultation the drawing shows at the same spot in the details, and View Diagrams there opens each drawing in a read-only window.


Tips:

  • A diagram can be placed once per template, and the field is always full width.
  • Once a consultation has marks on one of your own diagrams, that image can no longer be replaced and the diagram can only be archived, not deleted — past notes keep showing it. Add a new diagram instead.
