Show Last Completed on Public Forms [Setting]

Written by Raxl
Updated yesterday

Overview

You can now choose which forms display a “Last Completed” timestamp on public links.

This makes it easier for anyone opening a form via QR code or public URL to quickly see when it was last submitted.


What’s New

Control visibility from the Forms tab

There’s a new setting in the Forms tab that lets you decide which forms should show the Last Completed timestamp on public links.


Visible on public forms

When enabled, the Last Completed timestamp appears at the top of the form when accessed via a public link or QR code.


Also shown in QR code form lists

If you’re accessing forms through a register item QR code, the timestamp will also appear in the forms list view.


How to Enable “Last Completed” on a Form

  1. Go to the Forms tab

  2. Find the form you want to update

  3. Open the form settings

  4. Toggle Show Last Completed on Public Forms on

  5. Save your changes

Once enabled, the timestamp will immediately appear on:

  • Public form links

  • QR code access points


How It Works

  • The timestamp is project-agnostic

  • It shows the most recent time the form was completed across all projects

Why it works this way

We’ve kept this simple on purpose:

  • Register items can move between projects

  • Forms can be linked to different projects over time

  • Project-specific logic can be confusing in the field

This ensures the timestamp is always clear and consistent.

Note: We may introduce more granular options in the future (e.g. per-project visibility).


When Should I Use This?

Use this setting when:

  • You want users to know how recent the last form submission was

  • You’re using QR codes in the field and need quick visibility

  • Form completion timing matters (e.g. inspections, checks, maintenance)

It’s especially useful when multiple people interact with the same form over time and need confidence that the information is up to date.


Why This Matters

Clearer context for field users

Anyone opening a form via QR code can immediately tell how recent the last submission was.


Better QR workflows

Especially useful for teams that rely on:

  • QR codes for form access

  • Register items in day-to-day operations


Helpful for non-P&E setups

For teams not using Plant & Equipment (P&E), this adds valuable context to register-based workflows.


Summary

The Show Last Completed setting gives you a simple way to add context to public forms. It improves visibility for field users and makes QR-based workflows more reliable and transparent.
