Manage and Create Body Maps

Add, remove and create Body Maps as well as share them with clients

A picture tells a thousand words. Communicate the patient's condition both internally and with clients using Body Maps.

Manage Body Maps

All accounts have the standard body maps for the most popular species configured by default. You can view the existing ones by clicking on your Profile Icon > Administration. From the left-hand menu, select "Body Maps Templates."

❗Default body maps cannot be deleted

Use the Add Body Map button to add body maps that are relevant and unique to your practice.

The ideal size for Body Map images is (width) 2000px - (height) 1600px

Other sizes such as 1024 x 900px will also display properly.

You can rename the Body Maps (we recommend using unique names) so you can easily find them when needed for specific patients or cases.

If a Body Map is no longer relevant for your practice, you can remove it from the Admin. After deletion, the body map will not appear on the SOAP the next time you add a new Body Map on a record.

❗Removing a Body Map will not affect records that used this map previously

Complete a Body Map

You can easily create Body Maps from the SOAP. Go to the Objective section → Body Maps and add the template you need.

You can see all your templates in one list and the Digitail default templates in a separate list, and you can even search by name to find the right template faster for the case. Select the templates you need (yes, you can add multiple ones at the same time!) and click 'Confirm'.


To start adding notes to a Body Map, click on its name (or the edit icon) to preview it. In this modal, you can use different elements, such as text fields, shapes, and different colors, to complete your body map.

The Body Map auto-saves in real time, so you don't need to worry about lost changes. When your Body Map is complete, click on 'Save to Files'—this will add the Body Map to your Files section of the Record so it can be accessed faster. In the Files tab, you can also change its name to something more specific, if needed.

If you need to update the Body Map, simply go to the 'Body Maps' tab, open it and finalize your changes. When clicking again on 'Save to Files', the first version from the Files will be overwritten with your changes.

If you need to print the Body Map, you can do so from the Body Map preview.

All Body Maps are saved in the Files section of the Record and, therefore, will be automatically included when sharing the Record summaries via email, and in the App (when you have the 'Files sharing' option enabled).
