Session Forms

The Session Forms page shows all the health forms a family member must complete for a specific session (event). From here you can see each form's status, submit forms, download blank copies, and request fax cover sheets.

URL: https://app.healthforms.io/portal/people/{memberId}/events/{eventMemberId}

Navigate here by clicking a session card on the Family Member Profile page.


The header shows:

  • Family member's full name
  • Organization name, session name, and date range (e.g., "Acme Camp · Summer Camp 2025 · Jun 15, 2025 – Aug 10, 2025")
  • A Select Another Session button to return to the family member's profile (so you can pick a different session)

Event Details

If the session has a description or a support email address configured, a "Show Event Details" toggle link appears below the header. Click it to expand a card showing:

  • The session's description text
  • The support email address (clickable mailto link)

Click "Hide Event Details" to collapse it again.


Progress Banner

When the session has at least one form assigned, a progress banner shows:

  • "N of M forms completed" with a percentage
  • A progress bar (blue and animated while forms are pending; turns green when all required forms are submitted)
  • "N of M required forms submitted" below the bar (if the session has any required forms)

Guidance Callout

If any forms can be acted on (i.e., are available to upload or fill), a blue information callout appears:

"Click the action button on each form below to upload or fill it out. Forms marked Required must be completed before the session. Need help? Contact [support email]."


Combined-Submission Packet Cards

If any forms in this session are grouped into a combined-submission packet, those groups appear first as packet cards. A packet card shows:

  • Packet name and description
  • "N of M complete" badge
  • A Get Started button (or Resubmit if all forms in the packet are already submitted)

Click Get Started to open the packet wizard, which walks you through all forms in the packet in a single flow.


Individual Form Cards

Forms not in a combined packet are listed individually below any packet cards. Forms are sorted in this order:

  1. Rejected forms first (action needed)
  2. Required forms pending submission
  3. Optional forms pending submission
  4. Submitted forms (completed)

Form Card Contents

Each form card shows:

Element Description
Status icon Colored circle: exclamation (rejected), checkmark (submitted), arrow-up (pending upload), or empty circle (waiting)
Form name The name of the health form
Status badge Color-coded status from the organization (e.g., Pending, Submitted, Approved, Rejected)
Required / Optional badge Red "Required" or grey "Optional"
Deadline badge Clock icon + "Due [date]" if a deadline is set
Form instructions Text below the name if the organization provided instructions
Status message A message from the reviewer (visible when the form has been reviewed)
Action button Primary action for this form (see below)

Action Buttons

Button When shown What it does
Fill Out Form Form supports online filling and hasn't been submitted Opens the Form Submission Wizard in fill mode
Upload Form Form requires uploading a completed PDF/scan Opens the Form Submission Wizard in upload mode
Replace Submitted Form Form has already been submitted Shows a confirmation dialog, then opens the Form Submission Wizard to resubmit

After clicking Replace Submitted Form, a dialog appears: "Are you sure you want to resubmit and reset the status of this form? This may require the form to be reviewed again." Click OK to continue, Cancel to abort.

Using an Existing Form

If you have previously submitted the same type of form, a "Select existing form" dropdown appears alongside the action button with an "or" separator. You can:

  1. Choose a previously submitted form from the dropdown
  2. Click Select to submit that existing form without going through the wizard again

Three-Dot Download Menu

For forms that are uploaded (not online-fill), a three-dot menu (⋮) appears in the top-right corner of the card. It contains:

Option When shown Description
Download Blank Form Always Downloads the blank form template PDF
Download With Fax Cover Sheet Only if form not yet submitted Downloads the form with a fax cover sheet (see Fax Cover Sheet)
Download Submitted Form Only if form already submitted Downloads your submitted copy

Fax Cover Sheet

Some forms require a doctor's signature. If your doctor prefers fax, you can download the form with a fax cover sheet, which lets the doctor fax the signed form directly to HealthForms.io.

Click Download With Fax Cover Sheet in the three-dot menu (⋮). A modal appears:

"Download this form with a fax cover sheet to allow your healthcare provider to fax the signed form to HealthForms.io. Please see the instructions on the fax cover sheet or go to https://support.healthforms.io/portal/en/kb/articles/faxing-health-forms."

Click Download to download the PDF. Click Close to cancel.


Empty State

If the session has no forms assigned yet, the page shows:

"Forms Are Being Defined"

This means the organization hasn't finished configuring the session's forms. Check back later or contact the organization.


Common Issues

A form shows "Required" but I can't see an action button

The form may be in a "waiting" state — it's required but not yet available for submission (for example, it might depend on another form being submitted first). The status badge on the card will reflect this.

I submitted a form but it still shows as "Pending"

After uploading, the form typically moves to a "Pending Review" or similar status while the organization reviews it. This is normal. You'll receive an email if the form is approved or rejected.

I need to correct a form I already submitted

Click the action button on the form card (it now reads Replace Submitted Form). Confirm the dialog, then go through the submission wizard again with the corrected version.


Q&A

Q: How do I submit a health form for a session? A: Go to the family member's profile, click the session, then find the form card and click "Fill Out Form" or "Upload Form." Follow the step-by-step wizard to complete and submit the form.

Q: How do I know which forms are required? A: Each form card shows a "Required" badge (red) or "Optional" badge (grey). Required forms must be submitted before the session. The progress banner at the top also shows how many required forms are still outstanding.

Q: A form I submitted was rejected — what do I do? A: Click the action button on the rejected form card. A dialog will ask you to confirm resubmission. After confirming, go through the Form Submission Wizard again to submit a corrected version.

Q: How do I download a blank copy of a form? A: Click the three-dot menu (⋮) in the top-right corner of the form card, then choose "Download Blank Form." This downloads the blank form template as a PDF.

Q: How do I submit a form via fax? A: Click the three-dot menu (⋮) on the form card and choose "Download With Fax Cover Sheet." Print the downloaded PDF and bring it to your doctor. The fax cover sheet includes instructions for the doctor to fax the signed form back to HealthForms.io.

Q: What is a form packet? A: A form packet is a group of forms that must be submitted together in one combined flow. If your session uses packets, a packet card appears at the top of the page. Click "Get Started" to complete all the forms in the packet at once.
