Copying Form Entries

Note: This feature will be available in Preview until June 16. The details in this article may change before the official Quarter 2 release.

Users can copy individual form responses that their business has previously submitted.  This feature is primarily available to accelerate the time it takes to fill out a response if a portion of the questions is answered the same way,. 

Please note:  Copied form entries are a full copy of the entry, no notifications will be issued on a copy within the initial step.

 

How to copy an Form Entry

1. Once logged into Connect, click on Form Entries within the left navigation.

2. Within the form entry table, click on the copy icon available to users with edit permissions that will allow you to copy a form.

4. Within the window, you will need to choose a status if the source incident had multiple transition steps at the "Create" step.  This ability to choose a status is only enabled if and only if there are multiple transitions from the create state to other statuses in the form type. Otherwise, it will be disabled.

For example - for most form types that simply from Create → Open, there’s no need for them to choose Open.   For incident types that have Create → Open AND Create → For Review, the user would pick between Open and For Review - just like they can do when creating an incident ad-hoc.

                                                                                                                              

5. Upon clicking “Copy”, a new incident is created and you will be taken directly to that new form entry detail page. 

6. Within the form entry details page, all of the  form's information is copied from its source. 

7. The copied form entry will get the next incident ID in the queue.

8. The copied form's history is cleared, and will have a new initial entry referencing the clone action.
