    In a previous post you mentioned that Tap Forms has an URL Scheme. And that it opens to view a record. Can you elaborate on how to construct the URL to open a particular record from another app?

    If you have the Mac version you can use the Edit menu and select Copy Record Link. That will give you the format for the URL too. But it’s basically like this:

    tapformz://record/view/[document-id]/[form-id]/[record-id]

    Where the parameters after view are to be replaced by their actual values from the database. However, other than using the Copy Record Link function or adding an event to your Calendar using the Date & Time field where Tap Forms generates that same link to add to the Calendar event, there’s no other place to get those IDs. Well, the Document ID can be found on the Sync Settings and on the Document Info panel.

    I would like to enhance that at some point in time in a future update to make it simpler.

    Thanks!

    Is there a way to do a search within tap forms from a URL scheme?

    No, sorry. I haven’t written code to do that yet.
