How to Alias the Vitals Entry Form
Aliasing is the process of collecting or displaying information that is also collected in another form/table. Because the Vitals Entry form is used often, there is a different process to set up aliasing. Here are the steps to create a line on the Vitals Entry form and alias the applicable fields to another assessment.
In order to save the form, a date and time column need to be added and mapped back to the Vitals Entry form (i.e. vitals_date and vitals_time).
Note: Steps 9 – 12 only need to be completed once.
