If you add, change, or inactivate enumeration value lists or custom defined fields that are used in an existing Data Entry Form template, you will need to manually update the Data Entry Form templates to reflect the change. To reflect the changed option values or CDFs in an existing Data Entry Form:

  1. Drag the Data Entry Form template that you would like to modify from the elements pane to the design pane in the Data Entry Form Template Designer window. The templates are located under the Template Folder in the Source Tree pane.

    2. A message displays asking if you would like to position the elements in the report template at the cursor location.

  2. To retain the formatting associated with the Data Entry Form template, click the Default Position button. To overwrite the formatting associated with the Data Entry Form template, click the Mouse Position button.

    3. The elements display in the design pane.

  3. If you are making changes as a result of updated option values, clear/delete the elements affected by the changed option value off of the design pane.
    4. The elements are deleted from the design pane.

  1. Expand the item folder in which the attribute is located.
  2. Drag the attributes affected by the changed option value or custom defined field from the elements pane to the design pane. The element is added to the design pane.
  3. Click the Save button to save the Data Entry Form template.
  4. Click the Publish button to publish the Data Entry Form template. For more information, see Publish a Data Entry Form.
