For forms created in Forms 2.0, you can add and edit comments on client or facility forms, as long as you are in a role with the correct permissions. Comments added to a form will appear in the PDF view of the submitted form as an addendum.

The following permissions in the customer folder in settings>roles and permissions specifically control a user's ability to add, edit, and delete comments on forms: 

  • Customer>Add and edit comments on user’s client forms: allows you to to add and edit comment on forms that you added for a client or facility.
  • Customer>Delete comments on user's client forms: allows you to delete comments on forms that you added for a client or facility.
  • Customer>Add and edit comments on all client forms: allows you to add and edit comments on any form added by any employee.
  • Customer>Delete comments on all client forms: allows you to delete comments on any form added by any employee.
