Form Type: This will be set based on the previous step.
On Demand Workflow: If your organization uses workflows like EPA or Other Assessment (i.e. allows users to initiate specific forms on-demand), make the appropriate selection. Set to None if you do not want users to access this form on-demand.
Set form permissions to give other users access to this form. You can optionally give permissions to individuals, a course or an organisation.
Form Permissions Tips:
Any individual given permission to the form will be able to edit it until it is used in a distribution.
We strongly recommend permissioning forms to at least a course so that staffing changes are simplified. If you do this, any user who is a course contact for that course and who also has permission to access Admin > Assessment & Evaluation, will be able to access the form and include it in a distribution if needed.
If Jane Doe is the only person with access to a form and she retires, you'll need to manually reassign all her forms to a new user. If the form is permissioned to a course, any course contact with access to Assessment & Evaluation will be able to access the form.
Currently, permissioning a form to an organization only allows medtech:admin users to access it. As such we recommend relying mostly on course permissions.
Please note that forms using a workflow (e.g. EPA, Other Assessment, Rotation Evaulation or Faculty Evaluation) must be permissioned to the appropriate course.
Standard Rotation Evaluation and Standard Faculty Evaluation forms must also be permissioned to a course.
Confidentiality
Check this box if you'd like completed tasks using this form to replace the assessor/evaluator name with "Confidential." This can be useful for things like course or faculty evaluations.
See more detail here.
One thing to be aware of if using the Confidentiality option on forms is that once the name of the assessor/evaluator is changed to Confidential, it will be impossible for an admin. to monitor a distribution and see who has/has not completed what. If you typically monitor distributions or use task completion to populate some aspect of a course gradebook (e.g. a professionalism score), you may not want to use the Confidentiality option.
Click 'Add Item(s)' to add existing items.
Note that you can also add grouped items, free text (e.g., to provide instructions), or a curriculum tag set to your form. To add any of these, click on the down arrow beside 'Add Items'. If you choose to add Free Text or a Curriculum Tag Set, please note that you must save your choices within the item box using the small 'Save Required' button.
Note: Adding a Curriculum Tag Set is a very specific tool that supports field notes for use in family medicine. Most users should ignore this option.
Search for existing items and tick off the check boxes, then click 'Attach Selected' to apply your choices.
