- When the **"Active"** checkbox is checked for a **Vital Sign**, its status is set to Active, and its Lower and Upper limits are enforced as a valid range for values entered in the **Vitals** Form in EMR. If the checkbox is unchecked, the range validation is not applied to the entered value.

- Open the **Progress Note**.
- Access the **Vitals** tab against the **Progress Note.**
- Enter values that fall within the specified range for all **Signs/Fields**. If the values are not entered within the specified range, an **error message** is displayed.
- The data entered in each field will be automatically saved.
