Fill Out an Online Form

Once you add the link, patients can then use that link to launch online forms from anywhere with an Internet connection. See "Set Up Health History URL Links" for details.

Install / Load Forms Viewer - (Optional.) You can load the online forms viewer on your workstation, then access online forms at any time without having to open your entire Edge system. See "Install / Load Online Forms Viewer " for details.

The form will then pre-populate with both the patient and responsible party biographical data. If you do not specify a responsible party, only the patient data is entered automatically.

Click to OpenComplete All Required Fields - All required fields are indicated by an asterisk ( * ). You cannot submit the form until all these fields have been completed.

Click to OpenSubmit Form - Click Submit at the bottom of the form to prepare the information for downloading to your database, and linking to a new or existing patient folder. See "Download & Link Online Form Results" for details.

If you attempt to submit a form without completing all required fields, a list of those fields will appear. You can then either complete the necessary fields, or click Clear to erase the form information and start over.

If you close the form window instead of submitting the form, all information will be lost, even if you have completed all required fields. If you opened the form with the Forms Viewer, you will see a message warning you that the form information will be lost if you continue. This warning does not appear if you open a form with a Web browser.
