What are Forms?

In Tap Forms Pro, forms are the overarching categorization method used for the information you’re looking to record. With forms, you’ll think about the big things you want to log – “Photo Library”, “Book Collection”, “Cars”, “Expenses” – and create individual records for each piece of your collection.

To create a form:

1. Click the (+) button at the top of the Forms List view
2. Select New Form
3. Enter your form’s name and select an appropriate icon

Forms consist of records, which are the list of things you wish to keep organized within your collection. If you were inputting your book collection, for example, one record might be called “The Hobbit”, another “Lord of The Rings”.

But since you’re putting in the work to record information, you’ll likely want to add more than just the title of something. That’s where fields come in; fields can have a variety of functions that provide in-depth information about your records. For example, fields can contain text, photos, audio recordings, checkmarks, locations, notes, websites, and more. By adding fields to your forms – you can record lots of useful data.

Forms can also be grouped by categories, which you’ll see on the left side of the window in the Forms list. Categories are used to organize forms under specific headers, like “Home”, “Work”, “Project Management”, etc.

With forms, you can customize how your data is displayed through sort options and view fields. If you need your forms to do any calculations, you can define these rules, too.
