The OnBase Web Viewer, by default, displays E-Forms and Unity Forms in a read-only state. Users can retrieve these forms from within Epic, but cannot edit them. However, you can modify the read-only state of these forms to edit them in the OnBase Web Viewer.
To modify the read-only state of forms in the OnBase Web Viewer:
- Locate the web.config file. In a default installation, this is located at C:/inetpub/wwwroot/AppNet.
-
Open the web.config file in a plain-text editor, such as Notepad.
Note:
The *.config file should only be edited in a plain-text editor, such as Notepad, or a utility specifically designed to edit XML files. It should not be edited in a binary editor, such as Microsoft Word. Using a binary editor can introduce invalid characters to the file and make it unreadable by the software.
- Locate the <readonlyHTMLForms> element under <Hyland.Web.HealthcareWebViewer>.
-
Within the <readonlyHTMLForms> element, modify the value attribute to be one of the following:
Value
