Topic starter

One of our forms has several pages with some required field. If the patient decides to refuse partway through the exam, but the provider hasn't yet completed the required fields, is there a way to deactivate those, or to allow the provider to save whatever he has documented so far and sign off on the form?

I'm trying see if there is a way to do this without having to add options for those questions that say "refused". I was thinking of maybe putting in code that would add a space to each of those questions if a refusal was completed, but would be interested in any other options.

Any help would be appreciated.

Are these forms you built and/or have access to the code for?

VFE form design has the ability to do both soft stop and hard stop. Here, we prefer the soft stop approach.

Soft stop means a warning message is displayed that field(s) are blank, but the user can continue to close and onto other tasks.

Hard stop means the situation must be resolved prior to continuing.

My suggestion would be to modify the fields from hard stop to soft stop. Will accomplish a similar result, but allow a user to continue for the reasons you mentioned (and similar reasons to why we employ the soft stop approach.)
