Information Items
Information Items act as customisable fields within a Participant's profile where specific details can be stored and organised. These fields help you maintain a structured and detailed record of Participant-related information that is easily accessible when you click on a profile.
To manage information items, navigate to the Participant settings page. On this page you can create new Information Items or update existing ones.
Creating Information Items
To create an Information Item click on Create Information Item.
When the form appears type in the title of the information you want to record - for example, "Overview" or "Risks and Behaviours".
Required Information Items
Decide whether this information is mandatory for all Participant profiles by selecting the Required option. If an Information Item has been marked as required but does not have any content on a profile, there will be a clear indicator that the information is missing.
Documents Allowed
If you would like you and your team to be able to upload documents to Information Items, ensure this option is ticked.
Default Content for Information Items
You can set default content for information items to reduce repetitive data entry when adding information to participants.
When configured, the default content will automatically pre-populate when a user selects that information item on a participant profile.
To configure default content
Go to Settings
Select Participants
Create a new information item or edit an existing one
Enter content in the Default Content field
Save your changes
How it works
When adding an information item to a participant, the default content will be automatically pre-filled
Users can edit or update the content before saving if required
Notes
Default content is optional and can be left blank
Updating the default content will apply to future entries, not existing ones
Updating Information Items
You can update information items by clicking on the 3 dots to the right of the Information Item heading on the Participant settings page and then clicking Edit. This will open the edit form which is the same as the form used for creating Information Items.
