Incomplete Non-member Record Purging

If you create a non-member record created during interaction with a public-facing form (one that does not require login) is not marked as "complete" by the Encompass system, the non-member record and the incomplete transaction associated with the Form are deleted from the system during an after-hours, offline process.

The system will consider a commerce form “complete” when the commerce transaction succeeds. Non-commerce forms will be considered “complete” when all of the form steps are completed.

 NOTE:  Since incomplete records will be purged nightly, you may want to edit your multi-step Forms to “Enable Forced Navigation”. This will force users to click the navigation buttons and complete each step of the Form.

Super Admins will receive a daily e-mail notification of all incomplete records/transactions deleted from the Encompass database. Daily emails will also go to specific admins (Forms, Events, Campaigns) for the incomplete records/transactions deleted from their area. Admins can then decide if they need to follow up on any of the records/transactions.

Can't see the Form?

Check to see if any of these applies to your Form:

  • The Form's Start/End Date is in the past
  • The Form is Locked (under Manage Form>Lock Form)
  • The Form is Disabled (the stoplight next to the Form on the forms grid is RED). Click the stoplight to enable the Form.
  • The form option to Allow user to edit data after submission is unchecked. If this option is unchecked, users will not be able to edit data after submission, and those who have already completed the Form will no longer see the Form.
