Entries

Published:
Updated:

The Entries view lists all captured data records (called entries) created from any Form template. An entry can originate from a stand-alone form or from a form used inside a Context/Activity. The table shows who created it, when it was created and last edited, how many edits exist (with the full edit history), and traceability back to the originating Form and path.

Prereqs

  • Access to the Zegeba web app and permission to view entries in the workspace.
  • To edit, export, archive, delete, or bulk-process entries, you need the respective user permissions.

Table columns (left→right)

  1. Data ID – Unique, immutable identifier for the entry. Never reused, even if deleted.
  2. State – Current workflow state badge. Either default states or custom states if configured by the form.
  3. Progress – Overall progress badge, if configured by the form.
  4. Description – First descriptive text captured in the entry.
  5. Data Created By – The user who first created the entry.
  6. Created – Timestamp when the entry was first created.
  7. Edits – Number of saved edits.
  8. Edited – Timestamp of last edit.
  9. Context – The context type, if the entry was created in a Context/Activity.
  10. Activity – Name of the Activity Template (if applicable).
  11. Form – Name of the Form Template used.
  12. Path – Breadcrumb back to the Form Template’s location.

Edit history & audit trail

  • Open the entry's details (double-click the row, right-click and choose Details, or ⋮ > Details) to see every saved edit in the Edits tab. This replaces the old expanding row. See Entry Details Drawer.
  • Open any edit to view how the entry looked at that stage (read-only) for full auditability.
  • The row also shows an attachments count; the drawer's Attachments tab lets you download one file or all of them without opening the entry.

Selecting rows

  • The row number becomes a checkbox on hover. Select one or many to enable bulk actions.

Quick filters & search

  • Quick filters (top of table): State, Creator, Context, Activity, Form, Select Dates.
  • Clear Filters resets all active filters.
  • From Zegeba 4.13 the table shows a loading state while a filter is working.
  • Overflow menu (⋮) at top-right includes: Show Archived, Show Only Archived, and Export Table Data.
  • Search supports basic text search across visible columns. Use Advanced Search for cross-system queries.

Sorting

  • Click any Column header to sort the table by that column.
  • Click the same header again to toggle ascending/descending.
  • Sorting respects active filters and search, and the current sort order is used when exporting visible columns.

Row height

Want the rows closer together or further apart? Click Settings next to the search field and choose a Row Height, from Extra Small to Extra Large. See Views Overview.

Per-row actions (Action menu / right-click)

  • Details – Open the Entry Details Drawer: details, edit history, attachments and every action in one place. Double-clicking the row does the same.
  • View – Open the entry in read-only mode to review captured data. Open in a new tab.
  • Edit – Open the entry for editing (requires permission).
  • Archive – Move the entry to archive; archived entries are hidden by default.
  • Open PDF – Open the entry’s PDF report in a new browser tab.
  • Download PDF – Download the entry’s PDF report.
  • Send PDF – Email the entry as a PDF, with page selection, one or more recipients, and every file attachment included. See Send an Entry as a PDF by Email.
  • Export – Export the entry to CSV or Excel. Only visible columns are included.
  • Delete – Delete the entry.
    If you accidentally delete an entry, contact support@zegeba.com as soon as possible; recovery may be possible depending on backup/retention policies and timing. Include some unique identifiable information about the data like the Data ID or unique job description, and any related Context/Activity details.

Bulk actions (when 2+ entries are selected)

  • Bulk PDF – Merge multiple entries into a single PDF, choosing pages/order based on templates. A download link will be provided for the composed file.
  • Bulk Archive – Archive all selected entries.
  • Bulk Export – Export visible columns for selected entries to CSV or Excel.
  • Bulk Delete – Delete all selected entries.

Export options

  • Export Table Data (from the overflow menu) exports all currently visible rows and columns (after filters/search) to CSV or Excel.
  • To export all fields from a form (beyond visible columns), use Form Templates → Form Versions → Export.

Archived entries

  • Use the overflow menu to Show Archived (mixed with others) or Show Only Archived. Archived items reappear in the table according to active filters.

Pagination

  • Pagination controls appear below the table. Choose how many entries to show per page (default 20).

FAQs

How is an entry different from a form?
A form is a template; an entry is a specific data record captured from that template (optionally within a Context/Activity).

What does Data ID mean?
It’s a unique, immutable identifier for the entry. If you delete the entry, this ID will never be reused.

Why does my CSV/Excel export not include every field?
Row-level and bulk exports include only visible columns. For complete datasets, export from Form Templates → Form Versions.

Where can I see archived entries?
Open the table’s top-right overflow menu and choose Show Archived or Show Only Archived.

Can I edit any entry I can see?
Yes, but editing requires appropriate permissions and may be restricted by state or workflow settings.

Open PDF vs. Download PDF: what’s the difference?
Open PDF launches a new browser tab with the report; Download PDF saves the file directly.

What happens when I delete an entry?
The data gets promptly deleted and removed.

I accidentally deleted an entry, can it be recovered?
Contact support@zegeba.com immediately. Recovery may be possible depending on backup/retention settings and how much time has passed. Include the Data ID, the Form Template name, and any related Context/Activity details.
