Changing a Published Form

IMPORTANT: When a form is PUBLISHED you can only add questions and change their order. In order to make changes to language or question sub-type, or delete a question in a PUBLISHED form, you will need to create an UNPUBLISHED copy first.

UNPUBLISHED: You can also change the Name of of the form, Group Names, Order Within Groups, Description, Type, Status (can be changed to Archived, Published, Superseded, Publish-restricted), Include Elapsed-Time Recording, Allow Privacy Control, Allow Form Name Editing and Signature Behavior.

PUBLISHED: You can change the Name of of the form, Group Names, Order Within Groups, Description, Status (can be changed to Archived, Superseded, Publish-restricted), Allow Privacy Control, Allow Form Name Editing and Signature Behavior.

NOTE: When a form is PUBLISHED you cannot Include Elapsed-Time Recording and you cannot change the type of the form (Normal by default, Read-only, Computed).

To add a question or change question order:

1. From the left navigation of the Administrator Page view, click Forms
2. Click on Edit for the form you wish to tweak.
3. To move a question up or down in the form, click Up or Dn for the desired question.
4. To add a question, click Add a Question or Insert a Question. The former adds a question at the very end of the form, while the latter inserts one above the question where you clicked Insert a Question.

To make more drastic changes to a published form, create a copy. The copy will be created in an unpublished state.

We recommend superseding or archiving the original form to avoid confusion. More information on form status here.
