     Editing Candidate Forms

     In-Progress Cases: Changes are immediately visible to candidates if they have not submitted the Candidate Form yet.

     Submitted Cases: Changes appear on the Edit Case page but do not replace already submitted forms.

     Recommendation: Add a section to the form explaining how changes to forms affect in-progress and submitted cases to help Administrators and Candidates understand the implications of editing forms.

      
2. Fill out the information on the Add New Form window and click Done when finished.
   
   

   Note that the form will be available for units at or below the parent unit selected.

    
3. On the Edit Form page, you can +Add Questions. After clicking this button, the Add Question window will appear.
   
   • Check the Question Required box to require the question to be answered before submitting the form.
     

     Once questions are added, they can be dragged and dropped to change the order in which they appear. Formatting can also be added to customize the form display.

      
   • Click the dropdown menu beside the Add Question button to select a formatting element. For more complex forms, it is recommended to include these elements for order and clarity:
     • Section Heading: A large-text label that can be placed atop a discrete section of the form.
     • Section Description: Contextual text that can be tucked underneath a heading and above the actual questions.
     • Section Divider: A simple horizontal line that can visually break up the form.
       

       Check out the chart below for further details on the Question Types to choose from.
