Drafts in Document List
This is a small feature but has a big impact on reporting in Build. Until now, we didn't show draft documents in the Build Document List. A big reason for this was privacy. We knew our customers wanted this but we had to make sure the privacy was done right. Well we're happy to announce this feature is now live and we've addressed the privacy concerns in a way that should make everyone happy. 🤞
Some notes on this feature
- You get one chance - You can only enable document drafts at the first publish of an app. This is a one-shot decision. The reason for this is that we didn't want people to be able to turn this feature on later once drafts are saved without the submitter knowing about it.
- Only on Save - A draft is only created when the user clicks "Save." Before that, the document doesn't exist to anyone but the submitter.
- The submitter is alerted - When this feature has been enabled for an app, the submitter is notified when they go to save the document. This lets them know that administrators will be able to read their content.
- Drafts are not shared - When you share the data from "App A" with "App B", the drafts in App A are not available.
With the addition of this feature, you'll now have a clearer picture of where submitters are in the process. You will no longer wonder if people have started filling out a form or not.
