Sign the FIPPA research confidentiality agreement without retyping researcher details

Researchers accessing personal information under Ontario's Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act repeat investigator name, institution, project title, and authorized contact information on every security and confidentiality agreement. This guide is an example of storing them once in hivi.
