View, Edit, or Delete a Form Record

If you have permissions to view records of a certain form type, you can access a form record's details by clicking a record row in the Forms grid (see Forms Grid Page) or via a case under the Forms sub-tab of the Activity tab see View a Case's Details.

Form's Page Features

The following section will cover common details on a form's page, as illustrated in the screenshot below using a sample form type called “Interview”.

1) number at top left of page reading 2023-007. 2) the number 1 next to previous number with a slash in between them. 3) Edit button in top right. 4) delete button beside edit button. 5) form details.

  1. Case number: the number of the case associated with the form.
  2. Form number: a number is generated to identify the form record for the case. For example, if you added another interview record for the case, it would be 2024-002/7.
  3. Edit button: click the Edit button to change the form details. See more details in the Edit a Form Record section of this article.
  4. Options button: access additional form actions, including "View Record Source" and "Delete" options (see details in the View Record Source and Delete a Form Record sections of this article respectively). 
  5. Details: information gathered when the form record is created. See Add a Form Record for more information. 

Edit a Form Record

You can edit the details of a form record from its page. If you have permission to edit form records, use the following steps to make updates: 

  1. Click the Edit button on a custom form's page.
  2. The custom form's page will now be in edit mode. Use the text boxes, picklists, radio buttons, and other data input options to update the information in the form fields.
  3. When you have completed your changes, click the Save button.
Delete

Uneditable Form Record Fields

You will not be able to update the “Case #” field or any system-generated fields of the form, such as “Created By” or “Created Date”.

Delete a Form Record

If you need to permanently remove a form record, you can delete it from the form's page directly. Click the Options () button, then select "Delete".

Delete

Delete Permanently

When you delete a form record, you will not be able to recover the record or the data later. 

Allow a Portal Reporter to View a Form Record

If the form's case is external and you have the appropriate permissions, you can allow the individual who reported the case to access the form. This means that the reporter can log in to your application's portal and view the form for the case they added. Use the following steps to set a form as external:

  1. Click the Edit button on a form's page. 
  2. Check the "Allow Reporter Access" checkbox. 
  3. When you have completed your changes, click the Save button.

We used a sample form type, called “Allegation”, to demonstrate these steps in the following video clip.

View Record Source

You can use the "View Record Source" option to monitor or troubleshoot your application’s data migrations or integrations. "View Record Source" will pull up the "Record source detail" pop-up, so you can check the system fields' values when the form was created. If the form was created by an integration or data import, you will also see the "Source Job" field and "Source Data" section in this pop-up. The "Source Data" section will show the row in the data import file that the system used to create the form. You can check out the integration log that the system recorded when it processed that data import file by clicking the link in the "Source Job" field.
