    Would be useful for checking the forms records, when records start exceeding 100…

    Example of use:

    I have a Movies Form to keep track of all my Titles, some are iTunes downloads, others are Blu-Ray & DVD.

    This helps me when I purchase new Blu-rays to replace my DVDs, If iTunes was 1080 id bypass Blu-ray altogether.

    The Summary View would show me the predefined search parameters created in the Edit Form View.

    #1 – Count records where field:”Format” = “iTunes” would show a value & when selected it would then List all the records.

    #2 – Count records where field:”Format” = null

    This could tie into calculation fields too.

    Id also like to use the “calculation field” to total how much I’ve spent on each format…

    #3 – Total records where field:”Cost” != null

    I hope you understood what I was trying to get at, and can expand & improve on the idea.

    I’d like to bring up this request again. I’m also looking for this feature.

    Hello Bernd,

    Which aspect of the original poster’s request were you interested in? I have added calculation fields to Tap Forms now. But I haven’t added an advanced search (e.g. field:”Format” = null.

    Thanks,

    Brendan

    Hi Brendan,

    I’m trying to create a flightbook for my hanggliding flights. So I’m interested to get some statistic information like …

    – count of flights

    – grouped by year, by pilot name

    – sum of airtime

    … and so on.

    The idea is to get this statistic in a summary view.

    Bernd.

    Hello Bernd,

    Hang gliding? Wow, that’s very cool! I thought about doing that when I was in university, but I couldn’t afford to buy my own hang glider after the initial lessons, so instead I took up skydiving for a while. It was so much fun!

    Well, you can only have 1 calculation on the list view, so you could choose one such as Total (Air Time). And if you want to group by year, just add a Number field called Year and then on the form’s Group & Sort Settings, you could group by your Year field. Then maybe sort by pilot name.

    Or maybe what you want is one record per pilot, then a Link to Form field which links to a Log Book form (one-to-many). Then for each pilot, add a separate log entry for them.

    There’s a lot of ways you could organize this, that’s just a couple of suggestions.

    Thanks!

    Brendan
