The forms tab enables the school user to view the forms that have been assigned to a parent through the processes. The school user has the ability to select the name of a form in order to view and print it.
Locked & Unlocked forms
Forms that are locked will be visually indicated by a grey lock icon. The grey lock signifies that the parent has successfully completed and submitted the form.
Forms with a white lock indicate that the form has not been completed or submitted by the parent.
