The data in the source field in the metadata section of a record will tell you how the record originated.

Sources

Fulcrum importer

The record was imported into Fulcrum.

Fulcrum iOS/Android

The record was created in the iOS app, after Fulcrum iOS/Android you will see the version of the mobile app used, the OS version, and then details on the mobile device that the Fulcrum mobile app was installed on.

API

The source data is drive off of changesets, talked about in greater details here, and changesets are not required when adding records through the API. So it is likely that the source data will be empty unless you also use the changesets API when generating a record through the API.

Note

  • The source field is only presented on the Fulcrum web app. It is not accessible in the Fulcrum mobile apps.
