Data point status

Each data point in the data point list is shown with an icon. There are three icons:

• Saved (or draft) - this means that a form in the data point was started, but not submitted yet. The user needs to go back to the form, finish it, and submit it.
• Submitted - this means that a form in the data point was submitted and exported to the memory of your device, but not synced to the server yet. The device needs to have connectivity before it can sync the data.
• Uploaded - all submitted forms in the data point have been synced to the Flow server correctly.

If you downloaded data points for your monitoring surveys, the newly downloaded data points will be shown in bold so you can easily recognise, which points are new on your device.

If there are multiple forms inside a data point, the icon used will display the ‘worst case’, meaning that if some of the forms are already synced, but one form is only submitted but not synced yet, it will display the Submitted icon.

You can order the data point list according to the status, by selecting the Status option in the Sort menu option under to overflow icon.

It is extremely important that you check the synchronisation status before deleting data from the device by making sure that all data has a green icon and therefore has been synced correctly. Otherwise you might lose data.
