Verifying Posted Form Data
The purpose of verifying Posted Form Data is to make sure someone has looked at it. If you
have multiple people, or just yourself, looking at the posted form data, you need a way to tell if you
have read it or not. Verifying gives you a way to say "hey, I've looked at this", and be able to save the
entry and refer back to it. In short, it gives you a guarantee that you've seen it.
To verify an entry you need to have clicked on it from your list. At the bottom of the entry, you
will see something like the following:
You need to check the box labeled "Information has been verified", then click the "Save" button. The form
data is now verified. When you do this the entry will be updated on your main Posted Forms Data list. You will
now see the date/time and by whom the entry was verified under the "Verified" column.
This gives you an easy way to tell if an entry was verified.
Deleting Posted Form Data
To delete an entry, you simply have to go into that entry, then check the box labeled "You MUST check this
box to Delete this Form Data." Then you need to click the SAVE button. The entry is now gone. There is no way
to retrieve it again.
