We use the XML push option and occasionally there's a glitch in receiving XML on our end. When this happens, we have to log on to iFormBuilder and download the entire XML stream of ALL records we've ever collected. Then we manually parse that XML file to obtain the XML data for just the records we did not receive. It would be very helpful to be able to filter the XML export and just download the filtered results.

  Hi there, you can set filters through the admin console to pull only what you missed, but there actually is a better way.

  If you use the guaranteed delivery option for the POST Data function, then we will retry the push up to 6 more times on a schedule (1 min, 5 min, 30 min, 1 hour, 6 hour, 24 hour).

  Additionally, you can leverage the API which supports very robust filters to retrieve the data you missed without logging into the interface at all.

   

  Hope that helps,

  Tony
