Hi there, been a very satisfied user of TapForms so far, brilliant stuff, allowed me to organise my repair-business fantastically.
I have created a good database that allows me to store customer’s details and the machines’ details they hand in for repair.
I work a lot with serial numbers of computers, and it would be very nice if I could create a button that opens up a script (that, in turn runs a certain URL to do a lookup on a serialnumber).
Is there a way to achieve this?
So basically, I would like to have a button that takes a value from a Field (‘serialnumber’), and uses that value to run a script.
much obliged
Well, there’s no scripting functionality in Tap Forms right now, but you can add a Website field to any form and there’s a button there which will open the URL when you click on it.
And if you put a field name within square brackets, Tap Forms will substitute that value into the URL.
So you could create a Website field that has a Default Value set to something like:
http://www.somewebsite.com/someaction/[Serial Number]
Then when you click on the website button next to the Website field, Tap Forms will substitute the value from the Serial Number field. So that’s a way of having a dynamically generated URL.
Hope that helps a bit.
Thanks!

Ah Right, Doh.! Thanks a million! That’s exactly what I needed!
