Situation is;
I have a Mac setup in the office. An iPad for use in the vans.
I don’t have email or accounts set up on the iPad,as I prefer them “closed”- no office accounts setup so nothing catastrophic can happen from any mistakes made by technicians on any of the apps installed.
Is there a way to sync forms from the iPad to the Mac, but only one way? I don’t want stuff from the Mac syncing back to the iPads. There could be several forms created each day.
Apologies if this has been answered already. I’m trying to get it setup for mobile use by others and not exactly an expert!
Hi Dominic,
With the Nearby sync in Tap Forms 5 you can set that up.
What you can do is you can add the iPads to the Mac on the Nearby sync screen but don’t add the Mac to the iPads. That way if a change is made on the iPad, the Mac will pull those changes from the iPad but any changes made on the Mac won’t be pulled from the iPads.
It’s technically possible for Cloudant sync to work that way too, but I haven’t enabled a function to control that aspect of the sync because I didn’t want to complicate things. So with Cloudant syncing, it’s both pulling changes and pushing changes for a two-way sync.
Thanks Brendan. I’ll try that out. Understand about added complication- I’m sure you’ve enough to do!
