    New user here. Trying to import a Bento database, but the “Import Bento Template” function under the “File” menu is grayed out. In fact, all the import functions are grayed out.

    Can anyone provide some direction on this? I have a great tutorial on how to to the import, it’s just that the import functions in Tap Forms 5 appear to be inop.

    Thanks!

    Disregard. I figured it out, but it completely changed the layout and is sorting by the wrong field now! =sigh=

    Hi Michael,

    Tap Forms does a best guess effort at migrating the layout from Bento to Tap Forms. So you will probably need to tweak it after you do the import.

    You have full flexibility in how you want Tap Forms to sort your records and what fields get displayed on the records list view. Click the Form button in the toolbar and then you’ll see the Sort & Group Settings screen plus the Fields tab where you can change the order of the fields in order to be able to see just the information you want to see on the records list view.
