If you change the element name, all existing submissions will become invalid and you will get the error message: " Error. Submission is not valid. An incompatible change was made to the form/flow." |
This is an important consideration when migrating forms to version 5.1.1. See this documentation for more information.
Description
By default all flow descriptions say, “Edit the flow to change this description,” but you can change this if you wish. The description appears as a tool tip when you mouse over the area just to the right of the flow's share icon on the Flows home page. You also see this description when you view individual submission documents.

This field is a toggle that sets the state of your flow to production or development. Functionality is the same as Deployment for forms.

Fields
This setting controls which fields are saved to the built-in submissions repository. By default, all your data is saved as an XML document. This is the most efficient way to store/access your data both in terms of speed as well as storage. However, if you prefer to view your data via via the submissions user interface, you can choose which fields are saved in addition to the XML data. Note that this could incur significant performance overhead and will also consume additional storage in the repository
Considerations when deciding which types of fields to configure are listed below.
- Key fields are indexed for easy search of Submissions. You will see the controls designated as Key fields in the Submissions table. This is helpful when trying to locate a particular submission from a long list. Key fields do not affect performance. They are not downloaded when exporting your submissions to Excel.
- Saved fields do affect performance as they are independently stored in addition to XML data. This can significantly reduce performance, especially for large forms and require additional storage in the repository. Saved fields are not rendered in the submission table and cannot be used as search criteria for submissions. Saved fields are downloaded to Excel.
Clicking on the link displays a wizard. The wizard will display the fields from your flow. Key and Saved fields have the same meaning for flows as for forms. Please refer to the Setup Key/Saved Fields documentation for forms for details on these fields.
