Test - Digital Document Elements

Setting up your Digital Document Elements sets up the question and answer fields that will be used on the user interface, and subsequently on the reports generated by the input of data.

This screen is used to search, create, and edit a Digital Document Elements. After you get these set up, you can head over to the Digital Documents Setup to include one or several of these into a document.

Before you add a new element we suggest you perform a search for the document element to avoid duplication.
