Forms Viewer

The general submissions and criminal history workflows both require that a Lotus Forms Viewer software application be installed on your computer. The adjudicatory and Records Classification Actions work flows require the Viewer only if you choose to work off-line or to save your submission on your local computer. The new version of EIE will require that you reinstall the viewer if you choose to use those capabilities. The software is available at no cost.
Note: The Viewer is not required to use the Fitness for Duty workflow. Instructions on how to install the viewer (together with a video guide) are available through the following links:

• Install the IBM Lotus Forms™ Viewer. (Not required for Fitness for Duty Submissions)
• Video Instruction - 12 MB  Note: If you experience problems loading this video file from inside your browser, simply right click on the link, save the file to your computer and then open it
