Understanding required form policies in Workbench

Purpose: This document explains the required form policy in Verily Workbench.


Introduction

A required form policy is a Verily Workbench policy attached to a data collection. The policy requires completion of a required form when a user imports data from a source where the policy is present.

What restrictions does a required form policy enforce?

When adding data from a data collection with this policy, the user must submit a completed required form.

When do I submit the required form?

You submit the required form when adding the data collection to a workspace. On the policies step, you will be presented with a card explaining the required form. If you have not yet completed the form, the status will be Incomplete. Click Fill out the questions and complete all required fields in the form. Upon submitting the form, the status will change to Completed, and you'll be able to continue the process of adding the data to the workspace.
