Display required fields indicator to read-only users (medical application)
I am working on a medical application with some long forms for patient records. The same users that enter the patient data can also, in some situations, be read-only users. For example a coordinator reviewing a patient record that they do not have edit permissions for but have permissions to review the data in the patient record. This can happen with transplant patients. In this situation should the required field indicator be visible to the read-only user. My opinion is yes, as they are familiar with the forms as users in both states, but additional points of view and references are welcome. I tried to google this topic for UX but did not find anything related to this specific use case.   submitted by   /u/Lisgan [link]   [comments]
