1.8. Using LincDoc
User Interface
The LincDoc User Interface (UI) has eight components. In unison, they enable the quick, accurate creation of electronic documents and eForms and access to simple management features.
1. eForm/Document Package DDL
The primary option in the UI is the eForm and Document Package drop down list (DDL) box which contains the unique identifier and full description of each eForm or Document Package accessible by the user. Upon selection, the user can run (start), edit or delete an eForm or document package. A user can also search for documents generated from the selected eForm or Document Package definition.
2. Run
Once an eForm or Document Package has been selected, choosing run will begin data entry. If needed, a user can open multiple data-entry windows at one time.
3. Search
Search allows the user to retrieve previously saved documents or eForms. After selecting a specific eForm or document package, selecting search will list all relevant content to which the specific user has access. The user may select from previously saved search parameters or create new criteria. The search screen is configured by adding parameters under the Search tab in the Admin interface. See the Search chapter for more information.
4. Admin
The admin option allows for the creation, modification and deletion of eForms and Document Packages. The admin option also gives the ability to import or export eForms and Document Packages. Administration is further explained in eDoc Administration.
5. User Profile
The user interface is also defined by individual user profile parameters, which can be established according to the user's role within the organization's LincDoc community. To access the profile settings:
- Select settings.
- Edit desired information.
- Once all required changes are made, save changes to commit the modifications.
| Profile setting | Function |
| Username | Stores the user's identity for use in logging into LincDoc (cannot be changed) |
| Full name | Saves a user's actual full name (cannot be changed) |
| Email address | Captures a user's email address |
| Change/reset password | Creates new or alters current password |
| Password reset question | Serves as a security feature to verify authenticity of user |
| Password reset question answer | Provides answer to password reset question |
| Re-enter password reset question answer | Redundancy feature for additional verification of password reset question |
The System option provides a method for maintaining individual and group access to documents and monitoring LincDoc connectors. For administrators, the ability to maintain the LincDoc appliance is provided through this option. The current LincDoc version information can also be found here.
7. Help
The Help option provides a method for getting help about the UI, viewing the documentation for LincDoc, or opening a support ticket with the development staff.
8. Windows
The windows option provides the user to select from the list of currently opened windows and optionally tile the open windows on the workspace.
9. Logout
Closes the current LincDoc session.
