Hello. I am new to TF. I have made a training app using iCloud for DB sync. Now I want to migrate it to a cloud solution like IBM or Apache DB. However, I do not get how to manage users in TF and external DB’s. Are there some man-pages or some videos on the topic so users can have private forms and share forms like premade information?
My model is to have users add them-selves on a logon/register page I make in HTML. They buy TF for iOS and get access to training descriptions, recipes and training log.
Hi Lars,
There aren’t really users in Tap Forms. It’s not a client/server database application like some other database engines. It’s designed to let you sync data from one device to another using your own sync credentials, whether that by iCloud, IBM Cloudant, or Apache CouchDB.
If you wanted to sync with different users, you could setup a CouchDB database:
https://www.tapforms.com/help-mac/5.3/en/topic/apache
… and setup different users there to sync with a specific document. You could enable access controls to prevent anyone from modifying the database via the Tap Forms application who shouldn’t. But it wouldn’t prevent them from editing the database file directly and having that information sync to other users copies of that document in Tap Forms.
Thanks,
Brendan
