Viewing Your Form Design on Your Mobile Device

You’ve just finished creating your very first form using the Forms On Fire form designer, awesome! Now you want to view it on your mobile device and start collecting data.

There are two different options available to you once your form is in draft status. You can put your form in TEST mode or Publish your form. Both ways will allow you to view your form design on your mobile device.

Let’s talk about test mode first. Putting your form in TEST mode allows you to make changes in the designer and test these changes out on your mobile device. Make more changes and test again. This allows you to make changes without having to publish a new version every time. To put your form in TEST mode just click the orange test button in the upper right hand corner of the form designer. Decide the specific users that you want to be able see the TEST version of your form design. Often this might just be yourself as the designer. To stop the Test just click the orange MANAGE TEST button and press STOP TEST.

The second way to view your form design on your mobile device is to publish it. The Publish button will change your form design from a draft status to a published status; making it available to mobile users. Once you publish a form you will notice that a new version button will appear in the upper right hand corner of the form designer. This allows you to create a new version of the form and make changes to that version. The published version remains available to mobile app users and is only replaced one you publish your new version.
