The apps you build will have a set of standard / default Screens included by default.

These being:

• Settings screen (for changing password, forcing sync, logging out)
• Saved Entries screen (list of in-progress/saved Form entries)
• Tasks screens (list of Tasks, Task details etc)

You can replace these Screens in part or full by using a combination of our Listing/Mapping screen types along with one of the built-in “App Data Sources” we provide.  For more on these built-in Data Sources, see our Data Sources section in the documentation.

Building Your Own “Saved Entries” Screen

Lets say you have an existing Listing screen which allows a user to launch into a pre-filled Form entry when they tap on a row in the list.

That will work fine, however if they save in-progress entries then they will need a way to get back to that list of saved Form entries.

So you’ll need to link them to another Screen which displays this listing.

1. Add a seperate Listing Screen that shows the list of saved entries.

This new Screen will be launched from your existing Listing screen, say via a button you add to the title bar.

2. The new Listing screen will need to:

• Be linked to the built-in app Data Source named “App: Entry Drafts”.
  Every account includes this special built-in Data Source (plus some others).
• Have an Interaction set on the rows as follows:
  – Type: Open Entry
  – Parameter: {{this[0]}}
• Note that you can also filter the Data Source if you want to only show entries for Forms of a certain type.
  If you go to the Rows page of the App: Entry Drafts data source, you’ll see the columns available to use in filtering.

This way, the new Listing screen will show all saved/in-progress entries as rows in the Listing screen.

When the user taps on a row, the app will open the chosen entry, using the entry’s unique identifier (column 0).
