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
