When entry is not required
When you create a form definition for a common form in which entry is not required, either of the following design or procedural steps is necessary to ensure that the InForm application correctly records the form as completed. Use either of the following methods:
- Define a regular section in addition to the repeating section for the itemset if the form contains an itemset. In the regular section, include a required item that asks whether there is any data for the itemset.
- Create a standard operating procedure that requires sites to mark an optional common form that will not be completed as Not Applicable. To do this, a user defines a form-level comment and indicates why the form is being left blank. This process is described in the InForm application online Help.
