Test a Module

Preview and test a custom module before publishing it in PEARS.

Before publishing a module, you can preview it to verify that the form works as expected. Testing lets you fill out the form, check conditional logic, and review the user experience without creating real data.

Preview a Draft

1

Open the draft version

From the module detail page, click Edit Draft to open the draft version.

2

Click Preview Draft

Click the Test tab in the progress panel, then select Open Preview. The module opens in preview mode, displaying the form exactly as users will see it.

3

Fill out the form

Complete the form fields to test the module. Verify that:

• All fields display correctly with the right labels and help text.

• Required fields enforce validation.

• Conditional logic shows and hides fields as expected.

• Subform fields allow adding and removing entries.

• Response options are correct for dropdown, radio, and checkbox fields.

• Field identifiers show as expected in the export.

4

Review and return

After testing, navigate back to the Module Builder to make any adjustments in the form builder.

TIP: Preview responses are automatically deleted when the module is published. They do not count toward the module's response totals and are not included in exports.

Next Steps

When the module is ready, proceed to Publish a Module to make it available to users.
