Observations

Inspect, edit, and resolve observations in the active profile's local repository.

Open Data management → Observations (#/data/observations).

Search and filter

1. Use the search field to filter by observation ID or form type.

2. Apply client-side filters:

   Filter	Shows
   All	All loaded observations
   Dirty	Local changes not yet pushed
   Conflicts	Observations with sync conflicts
   Recently modified	Recently changed rows

Search returns up to 250 observations per query. Filters apply to that loaded set only. Full-repository counts (pending push, conflicts) appear on Sync.

View and edit an observation

1. Select an observation from the list.
2. Review metadata: ID, form type, timestamps, sync status, and dirty/conflict flags.
3. Edit the JSON payload in the editor.
4. Click Save to persist changes locally.

Unsaved edits are marked as dirty until you push from Sync.

Restore backup

If you need to undo local edits to the selected observation, use Restore backup to revert to the last backed-up version stored locally.

Create a new observation

Click New observation to create a blank local observation. You will need to set the form type and data before pushing.

Open in Form preview

From an observation, you can open Form preview in the Workbench to edit the observation through the formplayer UI instead of raw JSON. This navigates to Workbench → Form preview with the observation pre-loaded.

Resolve conflicts

Observations with conflict status need attention before push:

1. Filter by Conflicts to find affected rows.
2. Edit the JSON to reconcile with server expectations.
3. Save locally, then Push from Sync.

What this screen does not do
