Here are the screenshoots, the errorsays the filetype is not supported ![image](https://discourse-uploads-openemr.s3.dualstack.us-east-1.amazonaws.com/original/3X/f/b/fbf1351e4436e3c659a0056d0c353f8562089e5d.png) ![image](https://discourse-uploads-openemr.s3.dualstack.us-east-1.amazonaws.com/original/3X/d/6/d60f38520d931088b4373324f5a53e75cbaec01b.png) ![image](https://discourse-uploads-openemr.s3.dualstack.us-east-1.amazonaws.com/original/3X/1/5/15810b885df2eca3e628a192b65313054c32f5b1.png) Thank you ---

Jessica, is this your new questionnaire form, the one you’ve made on the NLM form builder, that you are trying to import from your file system into your openemr? if so there are instructions in [Questionnaire/Assessment feature implementation instructions](https://community.open-emr.org/t/questionnaire-assessment-feature-implementation-instructions/18870) turns out i’m busy again today - having problems with my own OpenEMR instance that i need to solve, but if i get any spare time i’ll take a look ---

It’s not clear to me what you clicked that gave you the ‘not found’ error message ? when i click on miscellaneous/portal dashboard i get the following window come up ![image](https://discourse-uploads-openemr.s3.dualstack.us-east-1.amazonaws.com/original/3X/1/4/14ef8b876e5463e7b98e40262f8f74f808253ded.png) this is our portal configuration page ![image](https://discourse-uploads-openemr.s3.dualstack.us-east-1.amazonaws.com/original/3X/d/0/d084107fd7dd1a66c7b6166dbdf4249a4c4d5274.png) ---

Hi @Jessica It’s hard to tell where you went wrong but I suspect you have missed a few steps. Here’s an unfinished doc I’m close to completing, but I think the page I link below might have what you’re looking for. [https://www.open-emr.org/wiki/index.php/OpenEMR\_Questionnaire\_-\_Import\_Questionnaire](https://www.open-emr.org/wiki/index.php/OpenEMR_Questionnaire_-_Import_Questionnaire) Also, it may be Too Much Information and hard to get through, but the Dev who invented templates and the questionnaire form has posted a lot about them in the forum. See these posts: Here is the main forum post about the questionnaire form: > [@Questionnaire/Assessment feature implementation instructions](https://community.open-emr.org/t/questionnaire-assessment-feature-implementation-instructions/18870): > > Warning see [Questionnaire/Assessment feature implementation instructions - #30 by sjpadgett](https://community.open-emr.org/t/questionnaire-assessment-feature-implementation-instructions/18870/30) New encounter questionnaire instructions: [Questionnaire/Assessment feature implementation instructions - #5 by sjpadgett](https://community.open-emr.org/t/questionnaire-assessment-feature-implementation-instructions/18870/5) Though many will be creative in different ways to develop a questionnaire, I’ll show a couple ways to get started using NIH tools. Note the following websites: [LHC-Forms Questionnaire App](https://lhcforms.nlm.nih.gov/lforms-fhir-app/?server=https%3A%2F%2Flforms-fhir.nlm.nih.gov%2FbaseR4) Is an available application populated with many test patients and questionnaires.
