I am attempting to use TapForms on my iPhone to keep track of a boardgame collection. I want to be able to filter my games by fields like: game location (ie is it in my car today), number of players (which is a list of numbers (1,2,3)), time it takes to play. So, I want to use saved searches like “plays with 3” and “under 2 Hours” and “with me today” and I have able to do that search very quickly while people are standing over my shoulder. I need to be able to search/filter with those saved searches together mix and match style using more than one saved search at a time. Right now I am faced with creating astronomical numbers of searches so I have each combination of location, player number and game length available.
What I would really like would be the ability to choose more than one saved search at a time from the saved searches list and have them all applied. This could be relatively easily implemented by presenting the saved searches as a checklist and then using a join of these searches for the query.
As I tried to figure out ways around this limitation, I tried making copies of the form with smaller numbers of records so I could at least get rid of one of the search fields. However, my saved searches were not also duplicated when I used the duplicate form function. So, there I was needing to enter them all into the new copy again. I would think that the saved searches for a form would always be useful for a duplicate of a form and should be duplicated as well.
Thank you for your time,
Helen
Hi Helen,
Thanks for your feature suggestion about combining saved searches. And also thanks for the info about saved searches not being duplicated. I have just rectified that situation. It will be available in the next update.
Thanks!
