Types of groups

The InForm application allows you to define and maintain the following types of groups:

Group Type

Description

Query

Allows any user who is a member of a query group to change the status of a query that was opened by another member of the query group, as long as both users were members of the group at the time the query was opened.

A user can be a member of only one query group at a time, but can be reassigned to a different query group.

A user who opens a query can change the status of that query at any time, regardless of group membership status.

Signature

Allows any member of the same signature group to sign forms if the user has the Sign Form right, or to sign case books if the user has the Sign Case Book right.

A user can only be a member of one Signature Group. When it is defined in the database, a form that requires a signature can be associated with zero, one, or more signature groups. When a form is associated with a signature group, it must be signed by a member of that signature group. When a form is associated with more than one signature group, it must be signed by a member of each signature group.

For example, to ensure that a form is assigned by both a sponsor and a site representative, create a signature group for the sponsor and a signature group for the site, and associate the form with both signature groups. Assign sponsor users who have signature rights to the sponsor signature group, and assign site users who have signature rights to the site signature group.

ItemGroup

Identifies a list of items appearing on forms for which display override characteristics can be changed through a rights group.

ManagerUser

Defines a set of users whose activities are included in the CRA versions of legacy ASP reports. A user who is a designated manager of a ManagerUser group can view the CRA versions of reports.

Reporting

Defines the reporting functionality and type of access available to users with reporting rights. Some Reporting groups allow members to access only standard reports; others allow members access to ad hoc reporting.
