What is the extent of using the Tap Forms URL scheme for:
tapformshd://
tapforms://
can you pull up a certain record, search or form?
I think this is the mirror of my question …
URLs to Run External Apps
Being able to have Tap Forms call out to external apps (via a URL) and allowing external apps to open Tap Forms at a specific record in the database (via a URL) would be extremely useful all around.

yeah, I guess I could have piggy-backed on it, however, while your thread is regarding using other external URL schemes, I was mainly looking for internal TapForm schemes (at least that is the way I was interpreting it).
I use tap forms to keep track of my clients’ computers. I attach a QR code that has their reference ID. It would be nice if I could scan it & open the app & pull the record or even the database. Currently, I scan the QR code, copy & paste the number into the search field within the database, then get my record. It’d just be a *nice* addition to be capable of making that URL call instead.
Just wanted to point out the parallels, noting that having URLs work in both directions AND across all platforms would be a great step forward in utility.

You can also scan directly into a search field in Tap Forms as it has QR code scanning ability.
The url schemes will simply launch Tap Forms. Nothing happens to them yet as I haven’t written any code to do anything with them.
Thanks,

Sorry for bumping this, but URL scheme support would be great. Just searching for a text string passed as a parameter (perhaps in a certain form) would enrich the overall usefullness of tapforms even more by allowing integration with other apps . E.g. calling
tapformshd:///search/
could start a search within for (a possibly unique) and show the first matching record.
Idea: Having another app which shows a map with some POIs. The user taps a POI, sees some information and taps a tapformshd link which brings up a record for editing some data. Then the user sends the updated data back for review (at the office).
Thanks for considering this feature :-)
