Create an Application Form Version

The versioning framework allows you to create and manage multiple versions of an existing draft, published, or unpublished form.

On the Versions tab, click the ellipses on the row for the form and click Create Draft to start a new version based on it.

On the Details tab, you can update values for some specific attributes such as Campus, Admit Period, and so on.

On the Design tab:

  • When you click a section of the form it becomes editable.

  • When you click a section or a field, the Section Properties dialog box becomes available.

On the Attachments tab:

  • When you click an attachment group it becomes editable.

  • When you click an attachment group, the Attachment Group Properties dialog box becomes available.

  • When you click an attachment file inside an attachment group, it becomes editable.

  • When you click an attachment file, the Attachment Properties dialog box becomes available.

Here are some changes you can make using the editable form and properties:

  • Add and remove sections.

  • Add and remove fields within a section.

  • Change the name or label of a section or field.

  • Add additional descriptive inline text under a section name.

  • Reorder sections or fields within a section.

  • Change an attachment group’s category or display name.

  • Change the required attachment file’s name.

  • Update the inline text to appear below an attachment group or an attachment file heading.

  • Indicate whether an attachment is required.

When you're done, click Preview to see your design changes before saving or publishing. When you publish this new version, the previously published version automatically becomes unpublished.

You can also unpublish a published version at any time. If you do that, in-progress applications will maintain an association with the version that was published at the time the application was started. As an administrator with the Update Locked Student Management Forms security permission, you can make changes to an unpublished form to correct any typographical errors on in-progress applications.
