Search Results for 'bento'

Hi Joanna,

Well, the date modified values will all come in with today’s date, but the Date Created should be the original date.

Can you send me the Bento Template file you’re trying to import and I’ll investigate it for you?

Thanks,

Brendan

I imported my forms from Bento but in 2 of them a large number of the created dates are wrong–they are showing today’s date. (None of them were created today, and almost all of them did have a date, that is, the date field was not blank). I tried twice with the same result. What can I do? I think I followed the directions properly.
What can I do?
Bento isn’t working well–freezes if I try to do an advanced search– and TapForms doesn’t have the data right yet….and I’ve got work to do!
Thank you!

Hello
I have a IMAC, an IPAD and an Iphone,
A few months ago, I’d imported my Bento database with IMAC.
The sync was OK, and I found my database on my Ipad,
Then I replaced all my Photos with the IPAD (around 1400 photos), taking a new photo with better definition.

Next month, I try to change with dropbox. I sync Imac with dropbox,
When I sync my IPAD, the oldest photos reappeared on my IPAD.

I saved my database (the good with new photos).

Each time I try to enable sync on my IMAC (iCloud or Dropbox), I found the old photos.

If I restore the database, the new photos are there,

How can I do to sync the good base, with new photos ?

Well, you don’t tell him to sort that way instead of alphabetically : it only uses the pick list order for sorting.
Which would be OK with Tap Forms, as unlike in Bento, you have a button to sort items upward and downard inside the pick list (if you want to do so).

[Brendan]

But how do I tell Bento to sort records using the order of the values in the Pick List instead of alphabetically? I just don’t see an option for that.

Hi Mathieu,

I’ve been trying to figure out how Bento sorts their records by the order of the values in the pick list, but I cannot see how to do that. You can sort ascending or descending alphabetically. That’s all I can find.

Thanks,

Brendan

Hi,

Not sure why – I couldn’t comment on the previous topic on that matter :

Pick List sort order

To sup um :
– I have a long pick list, with ordered items according to their value/importance
– That order doesn’t match alphabetical ordering
– I’d like to have that order used for sorting in the list view

Anyway, the proposed solution is … not a solution – I have a very long list of sorted items (about 60 items) – putting numbers in front of them is not an option.
That feature would really be appreciated (I just migrated from Bento, where I was using it)

Thanks !

I also am looking for a way to crop the photo itself once it’s in Tap Forms. I’m considering converting from Bento. I use it mainly for a collection inventory. Cropping photos within Tap Forms without sacrificing the integrity of my original image is highly important to me.

Is it possible to crop the image size and window in Tap Forms as it works in Bento, or will you be providing an update with that ability soon?

[Brendan]

Hi Daphne,

I’m sorry but Tap Forms won’t run on OS X 10.6.8. There was never a version which would run on Snow Leopard. Sorry.

Make sure that you’ve updated to Bento 4.1.2 first before you export your Bento libraries as Bento Templates. Then Tap Forms will be able to import those files including all your data and photos.

Thanks,

Brendan

I am a Bento user needing to move on. I need to replace my 2009 iMac (wish Apple would update the 21.5″ range soon!) and need to be able to move the data out of Bento into Tap Forms first. If I download TF 3.5.3 will it work?

[Martin Mosley]

I have TF running on both my iMac and my MBP. With Brendan’s help got the iCloud sync set up correctly and activated. Thank you Brendan.

I imported some 200,000 records from my Bento App into 30 Forms (some with only 200 records, others with 15,000) Have automated sync set up for hourly on both machines. After two days no forms have been synced.. If I go to my icloud.com page I can’t see a folder for tap forms or the expected files.

I really don’t want to use dropbox or other cloud storage since I’ve rationalized all my data files to iCloud over the past few months and with this slight exception all works extremely well.

Any suggestions?

Hello! Been a very happy user of Tap Forms the past few months – it’s proven to be a very good replacement for Bento for me.

Anyway….I decided to beta test El Capitan last week, and since then..I haven’t been able to get Tap Forms to display any of my forms. When I open Tap Forms I’m able to get the top menu, but that’s absolutely all I can see.

Is Tap Forms compatible with El Capitan? If so, any ideas what my problem might be?

[ivan cosentino]

I look for a solution, but installing a new version of OS X on a Lion Mac is quit impossible unless you do it with unsupported softwares.

So, and I share this with the TapForm community, you could:

A – try to share screen with an ipad with tapforms app installed
Or
B – keep using Bento till you could by a new apple product

Brendan is there any other solution that you can give us?

Thanks for your willingness!!

Hello. I am trying out Tap Forms for Mac to replace Bento. It appears the trial version doesn’t have the edit button at the bottom of the forms list. Also, I cannot find the option to create relationships between forms. I would be using this as a membership database and would be tracking annual payments for each member. It appears this would work well for my needs. Is there a limit to the number of records and/or forms Tap Forms can accommodate?

[L B]

I should have added that this form and database were imported from Bento. They were not initially developed in Tap Forms.
