Hello fellow CodeIgniters!

I'm converting a paper form here at work into a data entry application. I breaking the form up into a multi-step process to make it easier and less complex for the outside user to enter data. Some steps involve a simple one to one relationship with the database but some involve one to many and so on. The form as a whole will be written to around 9 tables (fully relational) so that is another reason I though it easier to break it up into steps.

My problem lies from the standpoint of administration. Once this multi-step form is filled out by the end user and submitted an administrator will need to look over it and make any changes that are necessary. I don't want to write separate screens for the admin, but I also don't seen the admin using the multi-step form to do his editing. For instance, when the admin looks over the submission, he will be looking at the view of the full form (uneditable) and then he might want to jump into step 5 and make a simple edit, then jump out. But for the outside user, he will be going through the steps sequentially, so the buttons on the form will just provide (Next and Back).

How do you manage from an administrative standpoint, this type of thing?
