Manage draft items

The
Draft items
view is displayed in the list of views if you have draft records either auto-saved by the system or manually saved using
Save as draft
.
If an iSheet has only one view, the view drop-down will not appear until a user has savedbat least one draft item. When a user has created a draft, the default and Draft items views appear.

Draft items view

The
Draft items
view lists all of your saved draft items. The system generated
Status
field indicates if the draft was automatically saved by the system (
Auto-saved
) or manually saved by the user (
Draft
).
Users can make further edits to their drafts via
More actions
>
Edit
. After editing a draft, you have the same options to save or discard the draft by clicking the x button, as described above. Discarding the draft item from the drafts view will delete the draft. Drafts items are saved and available in the
Draft items
view until you save them into the iSheet, or delete them.
If you attempt to edit an item within the iSheet, that you have a saved draft for, the following message will be displayed:
You were previously editing a draft. Do you want to resume editing or discard?
You can click either
resume
to continue editing the saved draft, or
discard
the draft and edit the current version of the iSheet item.

The
Draft items
view is a system-generated view, and Site Administrators can change the following configurations:

Draft items
view or apply any filters. Additionally, the
Draft
view may not be set as either the
Default
or
Alerter
view for an iSheet.
