Hello

I think tapforms is great!

I have no function to export/import individual records!

For me this is very important!

Greetings

Hello Harry,

You can email yourself an individual record. But when you export, Tap Forms will export either all the records in the list or only those records returned from a search. So if you can search and have Tap Forms display a single record, then you can export that single record as a CSV. Otherwise just tap the action menu button at the top-right of the record details screen and then tap “Email Record”.

Thanks!

A feature request here along the lines of this topic. To be able to customize the output of an individual record. A perfect real world example of this would be an invoice.

Also, now that 4.2 supports print, how about print straight from the iPhone. I’d love to fill out a form and press print on my iPhone/iPad and have the invoice print.

I know that these may be complicated features but I’d figure I’d ask.

Thanks for the great work and big thanks for being so responsive in these forums.

Hi Brendan

Thanks for your reply.

Another question … how do I import a record from an email?

I Want To Tap Forms to use with my musicians to share songs (my own songs).

The database will contain the songs with all information.

So I must be able to exchange (via email / dorpbox) the songs!

Thanks

Harry

Hallo Brendan

Danke für Deine Antwort.

Eine andere Frage, … wie importiere ich einen Datensatz aus einer Email?

Ich möchte “Tap Forms” nutzen um mit meinen Mitmusikern Lieder auszutauschen.

Die Datenbank soll die Songs mit Angaben enthalten.

So muss ich die Möglichkeit haben ( über Email/dorpbox) die einzelnen Lieder auszutauschen!

Danke

Harry

Hello Harry,

Unfortunately there’s no straightforward easy way to do that right now. You would probably need to maybe upload your songs to Dropbox and then just share the links with your musicians. Or you could beam your records to them if they were nearby. But beaming doesn’t transmit files right now.

I hope to improve this area in a future update. I’d like Tap Forms to be able to import a CSV file from an email.

Thanks,

Brendan

Brendan:

As a work-around for harry.ko’s request, could TapForms import/paste CVS records from the clipboard? One could copy information (in the correct format) from an EMail to the clipboard and paste it to the aplication?

Hi Harry & Imk,

In my next update I have added the ability for Tap Forms to import a CSV file that was emailed to you. When you receive an email on your iPhone or iPad with a CSV file attachment, you’ll be able to tap-and-hold on it to bring up the “Open With…” menu. Tap Forms will be available to you from that menu. When you select Tap Forms, it will launch and take you straight to the File Import screen with that file already selected. Importing that file will create a new form with all those records. If you wanted to import into a previously created form, you would cancel out of the import and then find the form you want to import into and then select “Import Records”. The files imported from an email will automatically be copied into your Imports folder.

Hope that’s what you’re looking for!

Brendan
