Adding a hyperlink to a form
This lesson explains how to add a link to a form in Viedoc.
In Viedoc, it is possible to add links to forms when you edit them in Viedoc Designer. For example, through Viedoc Me, a trial patient could select a link in a form to watch an instructional video on the web.
It will take some familiarity with coding and text editors to accomplish the task. However, the process of adding a hyperlink to a form is fairly simple.
