FAQ: How do I edit a Data Source?
It’s easy to edit your Data Sources for use in your digital forms
Data Sources are a powerful tool for expediting and refining the entry of frequently used or previously captured data. For example, when completing a work order for a customer, selecting an item from a Data Source filled Drop Down can populate relevant fields with accurate data, instantly. This not only reduces opportunities for error, but also expedites the entry of previously-captured data.
Creating and adding a Data Source is simple, however these collections of data often change as a business grows. For example, in the use case above, our work order is pulling from a Data Source composed of customer information. As a business grows, so does its client base. Thus a Data Source would need to be updated with new customer information.
