Medical Conditions/Allergies on School Forms ~ "Who Needs to See This" field: Option to choose NONE
On Medical Forms, the field "Who Needs to See This" for Allergies and Medical Conditions is locked and uneditable. The checkbox list contains several roles (teacher, non-teaching staff, coach, advisor, etc.), but it does not give the option for the parent to select "NONE". Therefore, since it is a required field on the form, it forces the parent to select one of the roles, which they may not want to do if it is a private and/or sensitive medical concern.
I would like to request that this field not be required OR give us the ability to edit or hide this field if the person building the form chooses to do so.

I agree and second the commentor who requested that we can edit the options for the checkboxes. It is frustrating to have options like "dorm supervisor" appear when we are a day school. It makes us look like we don't know what we are doing and confuses parents.

I strongly agree that we should have the option to either hide/show, require/not require this question. We should also be able to edit the roles under the checkbox.

We like to hide this section all together. Most of these options are irrelevant for my school and will only serve to confuse parents.

Kathleen Peak noted that this ticket is similar to https://blackbaudk12.ideas.aha.io/ideas/K12OR-I-2013. Consider merging them OPs.
This change is important for us too.

I agree that the question should be removed from this form altogether. The sharing of these forms, can be addressed in a text box near the signature box, and the individual school can elect who has rights to see this. Currently, I will have to to add a text box to explain to the parent how to answer the question, which may or may not get checked correctly.

I second the suggestion. It is a little strange to make this mandatory, but then offer no option for either a medical staff or none.

I agree with this, I think this should be high priority! We would want the option to either hide the "Who Needs to See This" field altogether and/or allow the roles that appear in the drop-down to be customized. Additionally, it forces a parent to choose at least something... they don't have the option to check "None"

We are hoping to get around this (in 17-18) by cloning the non-teaching faculty role, calling it "Medical Staff", then adding the nurses and athletic trainers to this new cloned role. Clones of the roles on the default "Who needs to see this" list will show up, so we are hoping this works for us this coming year.

Yes, I would love to be able to hide this question. Turning off roles is not a great way to limit them. We are currently implementing OnRecord, and we may actually need Dorm Groups or Activity Leaders for other things, but those terms will not mean anything to parents.
