What mini-registration task requires the user to possess a Fileman access code?

• A. Registering a spouse whose sponsor has already been registered
• B. Making a system inquiry concerning upcoming appointments
• C. Updating a home address for an active duty member
• D. Running (printing) a pull list

Answer: (A)

Understanding how FileMan access codes work helps clarify why this task is the one that needs them. FileMan access codes are required for actions that modify patient registration data at the database level—creating new patient records or establishing links between records. Registering a spouse when the sponsor is already in the system is a true mini-registration: you’re adding a new patient entry (the spouse) and linking it to an existing sponsor’s record. That write operation changes the registry and requires the stricter authorization and audit that a FileMan access code provides.

The other activities are typically non‑registration tasks: querying appointment information, updating a home address for an active-duty member, or printing a pull list. These are data retrieval or routine updates that don’t involve creating a new patient and establishing sponsor links, so they don’t require the FileMan access code in this context.
