Where session fields can be used

These fields can be used in the following:

• HDR Student core records

• HDRCM eForms
These fields are available in RME Designer to be added to eForm templates, if you wish to use them. You can choose which fields you want to use in an eForm template. If used in an eForm, when the form is saved, the values configured in HDR core will be saved in the eForm. If HDR configuration is changed after the eForm has been saved, the eForm values will not be updated. The fields can be used in the expression builder to set conditional branching or show required messages. Fields are retained if the eForm template is exported and imported into another environment.

• HDRCM eForm Page View HDR009M so that the fields can be included in eForm listing pages

• HDRCM eForm search criteria on the eForm listing page

• eForm email templates so that an email recipient can be informed about session dates

• In reporting views so that the fields can be included in reports

• eForm reporting: Printable view and Snapshot if the fields are included in an eForm

• RME Web API: Student API > Subject Session API (for sessions assigned to a subject)

• Dashboard in the Application List widget.
