Important Notes
- Deleting a Phrase is permanent and cannot be undone.
- There is no limit to how many Phrases each staff member can add and use.
- Phrases are specific to each staff member and can only be used in the charting area. They are not available in other areas of Jane.
- Each staff member’s Phrases are private. Navigating to another staff member’s profile does not give you access to view or manage their Phrases.
- Jane does not provide pre-made Phrases. Each staff member creates their own.
- To share your Phrases with a colleague, click the Export button on the Phrases tab. Jane downloads a file your colleague can import into their own account.
- The latest Autotext Expander Chrome extension is not compatible with Jane.
- Export your shortcuts and import them using our guide; for shortcuts starting with a symbol (e.g., “.test”), remove the symbol and use “/test” to access the phrase in Jane.
