How do you insert a SmartPhrase into a note?

• A. Use F2 to insert.
• B. Type "." and then the name of the SmartPhrase.
• C. Right-click and select SmartPhrase.
• D. Use Ctrl+P to print.

Answer: (B)

SmartPhrases are quick text templates in Epic that you insert by typing a period followed by the exact name of the phrase. The period acts as the trigger that tells the system to expand the shorthand into the full prewritten text at the cursor. This method keeps notes fast and consistent, and you’ll often need to confirm the expansion by pressing space or Enter after typing the name to insert it. Other options don’t reflect the standard way to invoke a SmartPhrase—they won’t reliably expand the template into your note. If a phrase doesn’t expand, double-check the name and any settings that control automatic expansion.
