Security
The Vista 2023 R2 release includes the addition of new forms and form tabs. Since these additions may affect your security setup, you should review them to determine what changes are necessary for your company.
New Forms
New forms in Vista come without security settings applied and are therefore not immediately accessible. In order for users to take advantage of the following new forms, you must first grant access using the VA Form Security form.
Some forms appear as tabs on the parent form, but have a separate form attached to the tab. In some cases, you can access the form individually by double-clicking in the tab's grid. However, in most cases, the forms attached to the tab are not individually accessible; entry can only be done via the tab's grid.
