Why don’t the new 333 forms pre-fill from prior forms in FACIS like the 147s did?
The pre-fill function for FACIS forms remains the same as was previously available: no pre-fill, pre-fill from a prior form, and pre-fill from all information available in FACIS. Unfortunately, there are not many fields on the 147 that directly translate to the 333 so, when workers make the initial transition from the 147 to the first 333 in an ongoing case and attempt to pre-fill from the prior 147 to the new 333, there are very limited fields that make the transfer. Additionally (as it was in 9.4, so it is in 9.6) users cannot copy and paste from a COMPLETED 147 into a new form (they can copy and paste from an incomplete 147 into a new form but not a completed form – FACIS 9.6 did not change in that regard). Workers may still copy and paste from an INCOMPLETE 147 to a new 333 and may still copy from completed 147s into Word and then from Word into the new 333. Once the information is in the first 333, for future 333s, the pre-fill function will work as usual.
