Copying an existing form

Navigate to the form that you wish to copy, click the Actions button, and choose Save As from the list of available actions.

Upon clicking Save As, a lightbox will display with some basic options.

When creating a copy of a form, you can first assign the copied form a new Title. XFP suggests a name which is the same as the old form’s name, but with “Copy” appended to the end.

You can create a straight copy of your original form, or use this feature to generate a version of the form that is to be made available in an alternative language by setting Save as alternative language? to Yes. If Yes is selected, an Alternative Language dropdown will appear for the forms designer to choose the target language for this form.

This will correctly set the language metadata value and also create a relationship between the new form and the copied form, so that the system recognizes there is an alternative language choice available for both forms. Currently, English (default), Welsh and Polish are available as standard. The copied form can then be passed to a translator to convert any English question text into the target language. XFP will change any system level messages based upon the metadata language setting. If you require additional languages, please contact your Jadu Account Manager.

You can also choose to retain/disregard any existing access privileges applied to the current form during the copy process. Select Yes from the Retain Privileges option to do this.

Click Save to go ahead and create the copy of the form under its new title.

Note: The copied form will be offline (not live) automatically in order to provide you with the opportunity to review the form prior to making it available from your system.
