    I have used FM pro for a very long time. It is now priced out of my range and I am trying the 30 day free trial of Tap Forms. My brain may have aged too much, but I am unable to get my data to show up in the layout.

    As I understand it, a document is like a folder which holds your form(db) and I should be able to view it in different layouts. Do I have tapform lingo down?

    Thanks

    Hi Terry,

    Yes that’s right. You could also think of a Document as sort of like an Excel spreadsheet. In an Excel spreadsheet document, you can have multiple worksheets, each containing different information. The worksheets would be equivalent to a Form in Tap Forms. So one Document can contain many Forms. Each Form contains Fields which define what information you’re collecting. And each Form contains 0 or more Records which are basically just instances of the form that hold all your data for the fields you’ve defined.

    Hope that makes sense!

    Also, the trial is for 10 days, so don’t wait too long to take it out for a spin :)

    Thanks!

    Brendan
