How do I edit a Recommendation (template)?

 

Via recommends editing Recommendations in the Builder with caution!

Editing a Published or Unpublished Recommendation could result in an Admin inadvertently deleting data from Recommendations previously submitted by Recommenders.

 

Admins can edit a published or unpublished Recommendation at any time, however, there are several factors to consider when editing a published or unpublished Recommendation that is associated with another Application or General Form:

  • if custom questions are rearranged, the new order will be displayed on all views of Recommenders' Forms (past, present and future)
  • if a custom question is added, the new question will be added to all views of Recommenders' Forms (past, present and future)
  • if a custom question is deleted, the deleted question will be removed from all views of Recommenders' Forms (past, present and future) and all associated data will be deleted (past, present and future)
