# Customizing the Clinical Profile Column

> What you can and can't change about the layout of the Clinical Profile column, including how to collapse and expand sections.

## What you can customize in the Clinical Profile

The **Clinical Profile** is the column in the patient's chart that summarizes the patient's health status—including **Allergies**, the **Problem List**, medications, and more. The set of sections and their order is fixed, but you can still control a few things:

* **Reordering sections** (for example, moving the Problem List above Allergies) is **not** available. Sections are arranged to match the [Visit Note Formats](/articles/Visit-Note-Documentation-Guide-Visit-Note-Formats) available in Elation.
* **Hiding or removing sections** you don't use is **not** available—but you can collapse them (see below).
* **Reordering items within a section** is available. Use the 3-horizontal-line handle next to a problem or a free-text record to drag and reorder it.

## Collapsing and expanding sections

You can't hide individual sections, but you can collapse them to make the Clinical Profile more compact:

1. Click the **Collapse** button above the **Allergies** section to collapse all sections at once.
2. Expand only the sections you want to see by clicking each section header.

Clicking **Expand** (or reloading the chart) expands all sections again.

## Frequently Asked Questions

#### Can I reorder the sections of the Clinical Profile?

No. The sections are arranged to match the [Visit Note Formats](/articles/Visit-Note-Documentation-Guide-Visit-Note-Formats) available in Elation, and that order can't be changed.

#### Can I hide sections I don't use?

No, sections can't be hidden or removed. You can collapse all sections with the **Collapse** button above the **Allergies** section, then expand just the ones you need.
