I’m a photographer and am going retro, shooting with old cameras from the 50’s.
I’d like a database to do two things:
1. Keep a record of films shot. Dates, manufacturer, specifications, camera used etc.
2. The ability to record data about shots taken on a film. frame number, shutter speed, aperture, location, did I use a tripod? etc
Databases building is not really my thing but I see how a simple one works. The trouble is, and I may be wrong, I think this will require at least two forms to work. One for the films and one for the individual exposures with some link between them.
Tap forms came with some examples and I’m trying to recreate the Clients (Films) and the Call Log (Exposures). So far I have failed miserably to recreate the way the examples work. I create an entry in the exposures form and try to assign it to a film (same as call log to a client) but I don’t get the smooth selection process present in the examples. Help :)
For this to be useful it needs to work in the field entering the data on my iPhone.
Hi Ian,
I think the missing piece of your puzzle is to change the Link Type on your Link to Form field to a “Many to Many”. That way you’ll get the checkmark that lets you select your exposures to assign to your film record.
Thanks,
Brendan
