Viewing Your Forms Library
The Forms page will provide a list of all your available Forms. You can click on any of the hyperlinked (blue) column names to change the order of the Forms. You can also apply filters to view Forms by Folder, Form name, last modified date, or who submitted the Form.
Download: This button allows you to download a copy of the Form (as an eform file) to your PC and opened with our Forms Designer software. This feature is helpful if you are using Forms Designer on multiple PCs or you need to update an existing Form.
Note | We strongly recommend that you download and use the most recent version of the form from Field2Base Admin to your local PC before opening in Forms Designer and making any changes. This ensures that you are working with the form currently being used and keeping the version consistent across your Company. |
Traffic: This option will show you every Device that has downloaded the most recent version on the Form. This feature is useful for ensuring that all of your Users are using the most current version of the Form.
Uploading a New or Updated Form
Once you have created or updated a Form using the Forms Designer application, you must upload it to your company's Admin Portal. Your Form will then be pushed to your Devices in the field.

Deleting a Form
You can delete Forms from the Forms page of your Admin Portal. Deleting a Form from your Admin Portal will also delete the Form on your Users' Devices. The next time a User’s Device syncs, the Form will be removed from the Blank Forms section of the Mobile Forms application.

Reverting to a Previous Version of a Form
The Field2Base Admin Portal will keep track of your Form versions. Each time you upload an updated Form, the version number will be increased by 1. You can revert back to prior versions of your Form from your Forms page in Admin Portal.

2. Click on the Revert button to go back one previous version.
Note | You can go back as many versions as wish but the Revert button only goes back one version at a time so you may need to click multiple times to go back several versions. |
