How to Set Up Document Designs

Document designs control the visual appearance of documents created with the Jump editor: headers, footers, logos, fonts, and page margins.

How to Get There

  1. Navigate to Apps > Documents & Storage
  2. Select the Design tab

You will see a list of existing designs. Click one to edit, or create a new design.

Body Typography

Set the default text appearance for the document body:

  • Font family - choose from available system fonts
  • Font size - set the default text size
  • Line spacing - control the space between lines
  • Page margins - set margins in millimetres for all four sides

Upload a practice logo for the document header:

  • Upload a custom logo or use your organisation logo from branding settings
  • Set the logo height in millimetres
  • Choose alignment: left, centre, or right

SVG and WebP images are automatically converted to PNG for compatibility with Word exports.

Customise the document header using a rich text editor:

  • Add practice name, address, contact details, or any other content
  • Use merge fields for dynamic data (practice, clinician, and system fields are available in headers)
  • Set the header height in millimetres
  • Optionally override the font family and size or inherit from the body typography

Customise the document footer:

  • Add custom content using the rich text editor
  • Toggle page numbers on or off, and choose their alignment (left, centre, or right)
  • Set the footer height in millimetres
  • Optionally override the font or inherit from body typography

Managing Designs

  • Set as Default - new documents use this design unless overridden by a template
  • Duplicate - copy an existing design to create a variant
  • Delete - remove a design (cannot delete the default)
  • Presets - start from a pre-configured design template

Changes are saved automatically as you edit.

Tip: Create separate designs for different document types, for example one for patient letters with your full letterhead and one for internal clinical notes with minimal branding.
