Is a customized standard SmartForm available to a user only if it is attached to a profile that affects that user?

A customized standard SmartForm is indeed available to a user only when it is linked to a profile that impacts that user. In the Epic OpTime system, SmartForms are utilized to streamline data entry and capture important information during the surgical process. Profiles are configurations that determine which tools, forms, and functionalities are available to specific users based on their roles, departments, or other criteria.

When a SmartForm is customized, it becomes part of a specific profile. For a user to access and utilize this customized form, their assigned profile must include it. This ensures that users only see forms relevant to their specific workflows and responsibilities, which enhances efficiency and reduces confusion.

If a SmartForm is not attached to a user's profile, that user would not have access to it, regardless of its availability within the system. This design allows for tailored experiences for users, ensuring that they interact with the most appropriate tools for their specific tasks. Hence, it reinforces the importance of profile customization in managing the visibility and accessibility of SmartForms within the Epic OpTime system.
