YOUR LIFE. ORGANIZED.
Create the Form
We will start from scratch, since there are no forms close to what we want.
Tap the plus [+] icon in the upper right corner, then tap the New button to
start a new form.
1. Select an Icon (or a photo)
2. Enter the title “Beer Tasting”.
3. Select “Personal” as the category.
4. Skip the Sort & Group for now (we will do that later).
5. Leave Hide Form setting as off (default).
6. Enter the fields, listed above.
Tap the green plus [+] or “Add a Field...” row to create a new field.
For the Beer Style field, tap Field Options and in
the Pick List setting, select the “Beer Styles” Pick
List created above.
Re-order the fields as desired by dragging up
and down, the 3 bars to the right of the field
name. For this example we want to see the Beer Name and the Rating in
our master list of records so they must be the first two fields. If you place
a photo or a check mark field as the first field, Tap Forms will use the 2nd
and 3rd fields for the list view and the photo or check mark will appear to
the left of the next two fields. Check mark fields are live on the list view if
they’re the first field. This makes it easy to build a simple to-do style list.
Decide on Sorting and Grouping
Once the fields are entered, we will want to group
by Beer Style and sort by Rating.
And presto! We have our first Tap Forms database!
Test – enter a few records
After we have a few records, we can view our data
and tweak the form as needed. As shown on the
right, grouped by Style, and sorted by Rating
