Flexible Data Manager

The Flexible Data Manager updates schema module submission data. Use this tool to import submissions from a file, update a single submission, update multiple submissions in bulk, or create test submissions. Field values, data types, and submission owners can all be updated.

Creators must have the Administrator Environment Role to access this tool.

To locate a schema module, select it from the Choose Schema drop-down. If you know the module ID, enter it directly instead of scrolling through the drop-down. The module must have a schema tag to appear in the list.

After selecting a schema module, four actions appear:

• Import Submissions from File
• Update Single Submission
• Update Bulk Submissions
• Create Bulk Submissions

Import Submissions from File

Imports submission data from a local file.

1. Click Import Submissions from File. The Import Submissions panel opens.

2. Drag and drop a file onto the panel, or click Browse to locate it.

   

3. Click Upload Submissions.

Update Single Submission

Updates or deletes a specific submission by ID.

1. Click Update Single Submission. The Specify Submission panel opens.

2. Enter the submission ID in the Submission ID field. Click View Submission to verify the submission in a new tab.

   If the submission ID is unknown, click Browse submissions here to open the last 50 submissions as raw JSON. Install a browser JSON formatter extension to parse the data, then copy the submission ID into the field.

The Specific Submission table shows all staged changes with Attribute Name, Current Value, New Value, Data Type, and a Delete option for each row.

Delete Submission

Deleting a submission is permanent and cannot be undone.

Conditional Logic

The Total Submissions count updates to show how many submissions match. Click View Query Submissions to preview the matching submissions.
