The Medication Form tool allows districts to define the physical forms of medications given to students. Because medication can come in several different forms, this area allows a district to define what form the medication was provided in. This information is recorded by health staff and can be viewed from a student’s Medication tool.

  2. Select the Delete button.
  3. A prompt will appear asking to confirm deletion of the medication form. Select OK. The medication form will be deleted.

If a medication form has been recorded for a student, the record cannot be deleted. Instead, mark the medication option as Inactive.

Mark a Medication Form as Inactive

  1. Select the New button. The Medication Form Detail editor will appear below the Health Medication Form Editor.
  2. Unmark the Medication Form as Active.
  3. Select the Save button when finished. The medication form will still be in the list of medication forms for possible re-activation at a later time, but will appear not bolded and at the end of the list of active medication forms.

A medication form assigned to a student that is now marked Inactive will not remove the medication record from the Medications tab.
