What are Form Submission versions?

Form Submission versions are records of all the changes users make to a single Form Submission.

How Form Submission versions work

The system creates a new form submission version each time form data changes. Form submission versions provide a way for you to review the data that changed and identify the user who changed it.

The following table describes a workflow initiated by a supervisor dispatching a form.

Note:Users can also start work on a form by opening it from the Forms tab in the Mobile App. In this case, the first Form Submission version is created when the user transfers or sends the form.

Note:The term transferred only applies to ProntoForms Teamwork-enabled forms. For more information about the ProntoForms Teamwork feature, go to Introduction to ProntoForms Teamwork.

Prerequisites

You must be a ProntoForms Admin user or a User with Can View group permissions.
