When Drafts are enabled for a form, users can pause their work by saving progress on a record— even if required fields are not complete.

 

Step 1: Open the Form

  1. Navigate to the record or form you want to complete.

  2. Begin entering information as usual.

Step 2: Save Progress

  1. In the right-hand Record Options palette, select Save Progress — this is different from the Save/Complete button at the bottom of the form.

  2. The record is saved as a Draft.

You'll see a confirmation message that your draft has been saved. Required fields can remain incomplete.

 

Step 3: Resume Later

  1. To return to your draft, search for it in Record Search.

  2. Draft records are color-coded and marked as Draft for easy identification.

  • Tier 1 drafts can only be accessed through Record Search.

  • Tier 2 drafts also appear in the Document Folders for their associated completed Tier 1 records, providing another quick access point.
