The Health Screenings tool stores health screening information for a student. If a screening has been completed in the past, it will be shown within the Screening History window. When a certain type of screening is selected from the dropdown list, only the areas requiring data entry will open.

Student Health Screenings

Required Field Logic

Required Health Screening fields set in the Attribute/Dictionary are constrained by the Type of screening selected when creating a new screening record. This means required fields in certain subscreenings that do not pertain to the screening type do not need to be filled out in order to save the screening. Required fields are enforced  on subscreenings that automatically open when creating the screening record. Additional expanded subscreens with required fields are also enforced when data is entered.

If a screening record has been created without any required fields, and then the record is edited, the required fields enforcement will be in effect upon Saving.

Screenings and Sub-Screenings

When adding a new health screening, health staff can select a screening type from the Screening Detail section and populate data for the opened screening editors. These editors that open are referred to as sub-screenings, and the following table lists which screening types open which screening editors. Sometimes the screening type has the same name as an editor.

Health staff are welcome to populate additional screening editors by expanding the plus sign next to a collapsed editor.
