Help Areas

Previous pageReturn to chapter overviewNext page

The Electronic Form may be set up to display Help areas within the Electronic Form itself. Help Areas are used to aid the user in documentation. If information is needed to answer a section of a form or if the user needs help in determining the best answer, a help area is available for the user to access and review.

 

For example: Help Areas may be images, such as the pain faces scale, that is added to the form for visual help; or a text document with instructions is created using Notepad to type in the help instructions. Refer to Text Help Area for further instructions on using the Help Area images.
