Locating an Additional Form
The additional forms you can use to capture supplemental information for a Contract, Company, or Project Profile are stored in the Additional Forms screen in the Profile. You can locate an additional form in this screen or by running a search query. The additional forms you can access depends on your user role since security can be applied to a form.
The additional forms you can access depends on your user role since security can be applied to a form.
- Open the Company, Contract, or Project Profile to identify the additional forms that you can add to the Profile.
- In the Links section of the screen, click the Additional Forms link. If a required form has not been captured (added), the Additional Forms browse screen automatically displays every time the Profile is opened until the form is captured. A Missing Required Additional Forms heading appears at the top of the browse screen and the required form displays with a pink background.
- In the Additional Forms screen, locate a form by scrolling through the list, or clicking on the Form Name or Form Description header to change the sort order of the information.
- To locate the additional forms that have already been added to the Profile, change the sort order to descending in the Forms Captured column so that forms with a number greater than "0" display at the top of the list. A form that displays a "2" in the Forms Captured column indicates the form has been added to the Profile twice. The ability to capture the same type of data more than once is beneficial if you were tracking the progression of an event or occurrence for a Company, Contract, or Project Profile.
- Click an additional form record to display its browse screen, which contains a record of each instance the form was captured.
- Click on an instance of a captured form to display its Additional Form Profile.
