Hi Brendan,

Thanks for considering this option. This would really help in being able to make a “mobile” copy of a database on our computers. Currently, I can easily get the data into tapforms, but I can’t sync the data back easily because of the tags. I’m sure there’s an easy way with apple script or macros or something to strip the headers of the tags, but I’m not much of a programmer. A field in the export options such as “export without header tags” would be fantastic. Thanks for all your hard work!!

New here (still researching the use of this program), but I saw this thread while reading through the forum. I’m not sure if a solution has been implemented yet,but from your description it sounds like the blank (“”) versus NULL issue. When you imported your data from the CSV file, the db inserted the blank fields “” into that column. However, when you added records by hand, and no entry was made into that field, the database left the value as NULL, which is different and accounts for the sort difference, e.g.

sqlite> create table test2 (a text, b text);

sqlite> insert into test2 (a,b) values(NULL, “Test 1”);

sqlite> insert into test2 (a,b) values(“”, “Test 2”);

sqlite> insert into test2 (a,b) values(NULL, “Test 3”);

sqlite> insert into test2 (a,b) values(“”, “Test 4”);

sqlite> select * from test2;

|Test 1

|Test 2

|Test 3

|Test 4

sqlite> select * from test2 order by a;

|Test 1

|Test 3

|Test 2

|Test 4

Keep up the good work!

Yes, I agree. I wish there was a calendar API. That would be fantastic. But I have been considering subscribing to one of the push notification services. I’d have to pay a monthly fee for that though so I’d probably add it as an in-app subscription service into Tap Forms.

Thanks,

Brendan

I like how you can go from record to record by swiping. I’m wondering about the possibility of having that happen when you’ve drilled down into a field.

For example, if I’m reading the Description field of record 1 and swipe right-to-left, I should be looking at the Description field of record 2.

Being able to scan through a bunch of records like that could be very handy. Especially for fields that hold pictures, etc.

Just something to think about since I know you’re drawing a blank on what to add next. =

Yes that does, and my interest has gone up quite a few points.

Is it still possible to have a feature that would allow Tap Forms to destroy the data should either of the password features attempt to be bruteforced? It’s certainly something that I would use as I’d rather Tap Forms wipe itself and me lose information than for someone to figure out the key and have access to it.

A more descriptive front page would be great too.

Cheers.

Purrfect! Very good. Look forward to it’s arrival. May just wait for it to come out. The CSV files you export load just fine in Office, even with the commas in description text.

Cheers!

Currently I’m using Tap Forms to keep track of my time records and it’s WONDERFUL. All the Executives at our company are eyeing the app with envious eyes, because they want support for IPhone based time records. Tap Forms is bound to be the solution. Currently everyone at the company must enter their time records in front of a computer (and remote users have never had a good solution). They really like to write up their hours on the IPhone everywhere from the plane, the car, the pot, you name it. Usually they add a notepad entry and email the text file to a receptionist who copies and pastes the records in the office database system (it uses Access front end and SQL Server backend).

Unfortunately the TapForms syncing option can’t work because none of the users are technically savvy enough to do it. What they can all do is simply email the CSV file to a collection email, very easy. I’m writing a bit of a java application to parse, de-duplicate, and then mass-import the records into the SQL server database. I’m almost done. Just a minor inconvenience – tap forms doesn’t place a comma after each record and before each new Tap Forms form entry ID. My last field in the set is a description of work that is a note. Simply having a return doesn’t work since the users often place returns in the description text. Also the whole email message seems to be formatted to a certain width. Can that setting be removed for better flow?

All in all kudos for a great software product!

Your description of a relational field type is exactly how I want to implement relational fields.

However, are they to-one, to-many’s, or many-to-many relationships?

It can get quite complex to provide all three options.

Also, if you click the Feedback button on the left side of my website on each page, you can see what other people have been requesting on my feedback page. If you had searched for relational, you would have seen that this feature was requested before. But I don’t think anyone else has explained it as well as you did, so I thank you for that.

Thanks!

Hi,

when downloaded TapForms about 8 month ago, my first intention was to import all my Outlook notes and keep them in sync in a roughly manner. At that time it was not possible to sync these notes with iTunes. I was glad, that just in these days the import update was provided, so it was no problem to import about 500 Outlook notes.

Now I use TabForms in different ways and I’d like to share my approachs hoping and looking forward to get new ideas from other TapForms users (I bet there are a also lot of cooking receipts forms, but there must be more…). I created:

1. German car licence tag list – there are letter codes here in Germany for different cities so I can map city and code to identify where the car is from. (letter code <-> district town)

2. Log my entry and leaving time of my job (Date, time and some individual tags)

3. Have a private abbreviation list (abbreviation <-> description)

4. Log the gas, heating, power and water usage of our family / house and granny-flat (incl. photo of the heating adjustments)

5. A list of the international spelling rules — each letter has to be spelled in a different manner in e.g. Germany, Austria, USA… (A <-> Alpha, Anton, … B <-> Bravo, C <-> Charlie…)

6. A EBCDIC list (hex-value, ASCII, etc…)

7. A list of emergency telephone numbers (Name <-> number) Unfortunately a direct dial is not possible anymore with OS 3.0 and 3.0.1

8. A list of Similes

9. And last but not least I try a little bit with a vocabulary list (German <-> English). There is a very nice feature in the new TapForms, that when you use the masked field type, than the value will be finally shown when you touch the filed one time. So you can use this to learn new words and validate them without seeing the translated word. Of course I’ll track my progress with a correct / incorrect flag.

So, now I’m looking forward to get ideas from you — the other TapForms users.

Brendan, many thanks for the new form and of course your great TapForms and looking also forward to the new version of this tool.

Best regards

Timm
