In order to add or edit form content:
Elements in the Form page group of the Home ribbon page become active whenever a file is opened as the active file.
The active file reference is displayed at the lower left corner of the window.
Only the forms that are relevant to the active file type and which your user role allows access to are enabled. The other forms are greyed out.
Whenever you wish to view or edit the information in a particular form, you can just click the corresponding form number within the form group. This action will open the selected form page on your screen.
The INTERPOL AM and PM forms are implemented as a set of individual fields.
Each form field area is contained within a Form boundary (100, 200, 300, 400, 500, 600, 700, 800 and 900) and has a header with the field number and the name of the field.
Each form has a group of action buttons and symbols:
- Save data from all fields:
Note the orange circle which indicates that changes has been made on this page. Click the button to save data from all fields.
The circle turns green to indicate that all changes is saved. - Cancel Editing on all fields:

Note: Your data is not saved until the form state indicator is green.
The individual forms are only described in more detail when special non-DVI or MPUB user knowledge is needed. This manual assumes that the you are already trained in the DVI / MPUB area and knows about the practical use of the paper-based forms. One source of such knowledge is the DVI Guide – practical compendium to forms C and D of the INTERPOL DVI forms. Another source is Interpol - Disaster Victim Identification Guide
Page design:
Screen pages replicate the printed INTERPOL forms (but with added functionality), so you will never be in any doubt about where data from the INTERPOL forms must be inserted into the system.
