Overview of incomplete forms

...

If you choose to continue an incomplete form, the original incomplete form you saved will remain saved on the phone unless you save it again or complete the form. If a user pressed the back button and chooses to not save their changes, for instance, the original incomplete form remains as it was before form entry. If the user presses Save Form on the menu, however, it will update the existing saved form with the new version.

titleWarning!

If your users have incomplete forms on their device, changing the form configuration of those forms in HQ will result in the inability to send those forms to the server! Be sure have your mobile workers submit all incomplete forms before changing these forms!

Feature Constraints

Saved Incomplete Forms have the following 2 major structural limitations that you should be aware of.

  1. Saved Incomplete Forms are not synced with CommCareHQ and are only stored locally on the mobile device
    1. Consequence: If you lose access to your mobile device, say, it breaks or is lost, Incomplete Forms saved on the device will not be recoverable.
  2. Saved Incomplete Forms are not updated when you make updates to your app or the data the incomplete forms rely on

    1. Consequence #1: Certain app updates like changes to the form's structure, or changes to the assets relied upon by the form (like the availability of images or audio), can prevent mobile workers from resuming Incomplete Forms saved on the device.

    2. Consequence #2: If the data the form relies on has changed, resuming Incomplete Forms saved on the device will have undefined/unpredictable behavior.
