2.5.1 - eDesigner Community Session Build

In July, we highlighted that a new release would be available that provides you with two really great new features in a new function called Your Items.

These new features are:

• Shared Lists
• Shared Sections
  
  

This provides you with the ability to save a list for reuse over and over again.

With the new release in place, you have the option when creating a list to 'Save to Your Items'. It is as simple as clicking the middle button below:

When this is clicked you need to give it a name for the reusable version of the list:

This will then be selectable when adding a list:

With the newly created reusable list now there for selection:

Once you've added items to 'Your Items' they can then be viewed/deleted from here:

We can see this new reusable list is here:

This is also where you can delete the reusable list. Clicking the cross icon on the right item of a list will provide a prompt to confirm or cancel the deletion:

Notes

1) Deleting a reusable list will NOT affect forms that have that list.

2) If you update a reusable list, the updated version will be available to select. It will NOT update forms that already had that reusable list on it.

Shared Sections

This provides you with the ability to save an entire section of questions/content for reuse over and over again. You can effectively create an entire page's worth of content into a section and thus be able to store custom pages in the form of these sections.

The following 'Save to Your Items' is now an option when you have selected to add the 'Grouped set of questions' option in the add a section function:

BUT you should press the Save button when you just add the section for the first time. Then go into the form and add all of the content you want to it. Once you've done that edit the section and choose 'Save to Your Items'. Saving it at the start means you'll save a blank section for reuse. Not the finished section with all of the content in it. 

We are creating a new section called Your Information which will be a custom Who Are You section. First we need to name it:

Then we need to add content to our section:

These sections are also available to view/delete within Your Items as shown:

When you go to add a section, if you have a reusable one in place, then you see this option:

This means our section created earlier will be created with a single click. You just need to select it from the list. 

Notes

1) You cannot have the same reusable section on the same page more than once. 

2) Deleting a reusable section will NOT affect forms that have that section.

3) If you update a reusable section, the updated version will be available to select. It will NOT update forms that already had that reusable section on it.
