PIN lock when a patient fills a form

Open Settings

Set a screen-lock PIN so you can hand your device to a patient to complete a form while the rest of Documenti stays locked.

When a patient needs to fill a form on your tablet or laptop, Screen Lock PIN keeps Documenti locked to that form. They can complete the form; you unlock with your PIN to get back to the rest of the app.

Set your PIN

  1. Open Settings from your account menu.
  2. Find Screen Lock PIN.
  3. Enter a 4–8 digit PIN, confirm it, and save — or Change PIN / Remove PIN if one is already set.

Lock before you hand over the device

  1. Open the form the patient needs to complete (for example from a consultation).
  2. On the form footer, choose Lock (padlock icon).
  3. Hand the device to the patient — they can use the form only.

Note

If Lock is missing, set a Screen Lock PIN in Settings first. Removing the PIN disables screen locking.

Unlock when you get the device back

  1. Take the device back from the patient.
  2. On the Unlock screen, enter your PIN.
  3. Choose Unlock — Documenti opens again so you can finish or save the form.
