Draft Records allow users to save progress on forms before completing all required fields. As an Administrator, you can enable this feature for individual forms through Form Properties.

 

Step 1: Open Form Properties

  1. Navigate to the desired form in Apricot.

  2. In the Form Designer, locate the Form Properties panel.

 

Step 2: Allow Drafts

  1. In Form Properties, find the setting labeled Allow Drafts.

  2. Select or check the box to enable Draft functionality for that form.

Step 3: Save and Publish Your Settings

  1. Save your changes to apply the Draft option.

  2. Once enabled and the form is published, users will see a Save Progress option when completing that form.

Note: If you later disable Drafts, existing draft records remain visible and accessible. Users can still open, edit, and complete those drafts from Record Search.

 

Reminder: Changes to form settings—such as enabling Drafts—do not take effect until the form is published.
