  • While this feature allows you to test the most recent version of your application without having to deploy any changes, we do recommend deploying new versions of your application occasionally. This will allow you to have checkpoints to revert your application to in case you make a change that you cannot fix or breaks your application.

  • We recommend using the 1 question per screen setting, as multiple questions per screen can cause some slowness and performance issues. To enable this, select the ‘Settings’ button from the home screen of ‘Live Preview’ and select enable for this setting.

  • You can view any other languages you might have configured for your application by proceeding the ‘Settings’ page of Live Preview.

  • Be sure to sync to receive the latest data for your application, especially when using the 'Login As' functionality.

Limitations

...

  • User-controlled repeat groups (i.e. Repeat groups where the user defines how many repeats to input) do not currently work. Repeat groups where the repeat count is pre-defined should work.

  • Some icons and images on questiosn may not work. Prior to deployment, we highly recommend testing on a mobile device first.

Please note that any forms or data submitted while using the Login As feature will be treated as live data and will appear in exports and reports as such. 

...

To enable the Login As feature, you need be logged in as a Web User with certain permissions. The user’s Web User Role will need to have permission to do the following in your project space:
