Centers that track information about a potential father (common for pregnancy centers) can now capture details on more than one candidate, both when a client fills out an intake form and when staff work in the client record.
This section only appears when a form or client record includes potential-father fields. If your intake forms don't ask about a potential father, you won't see this.
When an intake form includes potential-father questions, the Client Portal shows a Potential fathers section below the rest of the form:
The client can fill out one card of information per potential father: name, age, relationship, how long they've been in the relationship, whether he knows about the pregnancy, whether he is involved in the decision, and plans for the future together.
Add another potential father adds a new, blank card so the client can enter more than one candidate.
Each card is numbered (Potential father 1, Potential father 2, and so on). The first card is labeled Primary.
Remove deletes a card. It only appears once there is more than one card, so at least one card always remains.
Required fields work the same as the rest of the form: a candidate's required fields must be completed before the client can submit.
Staff can view and manage the same information from a Potential Fathers panel on the client record:
Each potential father is listed with their name, a Primary badge on the primary candidate, and their relationship to the client if one is on file.
Quick facts (age, relationship length, whether he knows about the pregnancy, whether he's involved in the decision) are shown under each entry.
Staff can:
Add another potential father to create a new entry.
Click the edit icon to update an existing entry.
Set primary on any non-primary entry to change who is marked primary.
Reorder entries with the up/down arrows.
Delete an entry.
If no potential fathers have been recorded yet, the panel shows "No potential fathers recorded" with a prompt to add one.
