Best practice with a location field in a home inventory database

[Daniel Hofer]

Hello

I’m quite new with Tap forms but really excited:-).
For my home inventory database I’d like to have a location field, that should technically built in a recursive manner.
What I mean:
a location can be o room, for example the living room. There are several cupboards. A cupboard has several drawers, and in a drawer could be several boxes.

And I’d like to set an exactly location for my items.
In specialized inventory apps like MyStuff2 it’s easy to define a location in a location in a location and so on.

Do you have an idea how I could solve this problem with Tab Forms? Or is there another easy way for this?

Thanks a lot and best wishes
Daniel

Hi Daniel,

Tap Forms is a bit more flat than that. So you could have multiple location fields with attached Pick Lists which could be used to define the locations and sub-locations. But each value would essentially be a separate field in your form.

Thanks!
