Draft observations on the iOS app

[EmilyTapestrySupport]

In this tutorial we are going to look at how draft observations work on the iOS app. This feature will allow you to save what you're doing without adding it as an actual observation. You can then return back at a later time to complete it and upload it to Tapestry.

Please note that drafts are saved for up to 91 days for staff members and after this they will be deleted. Also, drafts are stored on the device they were created on and are tied to the user's account that created them. They will only be visible when the user that created them logs in onto that specific device.

 

So to do this, while creating an observation you can "Cancel" adding the observation at any time (1) and this will give you the option to either "Keep draft" or "Delete draft" (2). Please note, you will need to add a title before you can save a draft. 

 

 

A draft won't show up in your main list of observations, but if you have any on your device, these will be listed at the top of your observation list. To continue editing your draft, simply click where it says "[1] draft observation on this device" and then click the title of the draft you wish to edit. 

 

 

This will take you back to your Observation and you can continue to edit as needed. If you are happy with it and wish to upload this as a full observation, just click "Upload" in top corner.

 

 

Alternatively, If you want to delete or continue editing the observation at a later time, then just click "Cancel" (1) and select either "Delete draft" or "Keep draft" (2). 

 

 

Please note that drafts are saved for up to 91 days for staff members and after this they will be deleted. Also, drafts are stored on the device they were created on and will only be visible when the user that created them logs in onto that specific device.
