Generating a Workbook from a Form

In order to have a better view and understanding of how a form is configured, administrators can export a form into a workbook which can be saved and printed.

Note: The workbook is exported into a Microsoft® Word file. In order to use this feature, you must have Microsoft® Word 2007 or later. If you do not have a supported version of Word, the system will still generate and allow you to save the workbook but you will not be able to open the file.

Management forms contain the same data as submission forms with added sections for follow-up investigations and resolutions and outcomes. page and choose the module (e.g., Risk) and platform (e.g., Desktop).
