What is the current behavior?

The "Incidental Observation" link under the common form configurations is misspelled, and also does not auto select any modules.

Also, after the "select data entry modules" is closed by selecting from the new encounter or new project tabs on the home page, the screen does not return to home but rather returns to the enter new animal encounter page.

What is the expected behavior for a bug report?

I would expect to be rerouted to the home page after exiting the select data entry modules.

I should probably remove incidental encounter configuration since it currently only has the initial screen. In future iterations this will include an abundance selection similar to iSpot.

I'm having trouble understanding what the second problem is. I need clarification.

Hey Mitch, Lance here. After looking at the second issue again I've found that there really isn't one. Initially I was expecting to be rerouted to the home page after selecting the "Back to Form X" button from the modules screen, but now I realize this is how it should be. I suppose the confusion is from a deeper issue, because it is unexpected for the new user to see the "Select Data Entry Modules" screen pop-up when they select "New Encounter" from the drop down menu. Would it be better for the naive user to be taken first to the "Enter New Animal Encounter" page where they may find a description for the purpose of the modules? For instance, when a user wants to create a new animal encounter they are taken to a blank encounter form where they will find a description stating, "select from the modules list to populate your new animal encounter with variables specific to your project...". Also, is there anyway to create a short description of each module and have it be visible or pop-up when hovered over?
