Passwords can be added to Public Forms, so the user can directly enter information on their SAM record. When a password is not used, SAM will attempt to auto-match the record to limit duplicate records.
All Main Records: Family, Child, Birth Mother/Father, Donor, Volunteer, Person or Organization have password capabilities to ensure an exact match to their record. Previously entered data will be pre-filled and shown on the form if the data field is shown.
