FORM RECORDS

The Form Record tab lists all the available form groups and individual forms that have already been assigned, partially completed or completed.

Refer to the Lucidity App user guide for more information on how to complete a form record from the app.

Video: Form Records Overview

 

From the Form Records page of Lucidity InForm, users can (permission dependant):

  • Complete assigned forms

  • View and create form records

  • Copy, edit, archive or delete form records

  • Print and email form records

  • Assign forms for completion

Form Groups

Form groups are categories for filing forms and enables forms to be restricted to specific users or user groups via Lucidity Access. Form groups are listed as grey headings on the left-hand side of screen from the Form Records tab. When selected, the form group headings will expand to show the individual forms held within that form group. This then filters the list of form records displayed to only show the form records for that particular form. 

In the example below, the Star Wars Galaxy form group is expanded and the Daily Diary - Star Wars Galaxy form is selected. As a result, only form records for the Daily Diary - Star Wars Galaxy form are displayed. 

Managing form groups is detailed in the Settings page in this user guide.
