Forms Designer - Applied Logs

Modified on 2013/08/12 22:22 by Chad — Categorized as: Uncategorized

Applied Logs allow form users to choose an uploaded as applied log file's information that appears on the Map.

What is a log file?---- Click on the Applied Log button on the left panel

Image

Then click on the canvas to place the applied log drop-down.

The initial log drop down list box is fairly small so it might be a good idea to increase the width property value to allow the applied logs that populate the list be easily read. To enlarge it change the value of it's left property.

In order for the form to work, it needs to have a Date of application attached to it. 



First we want to create a Text Box and place it on the canvas.

Image

Name the text box precisely "DateOrdered"



 !!Notice that the "D" and the "O" are capitalized!!

Image

Format the text box so that the type is Date



Image

Add a variable to it so it pulls the current date from the computers calendar. 



Type in 
=@nowDate
into the Text area

Image

you may also want to add a label to the text box to show what it contains.

In order to show the data in the log I recommend placing a Applicator Line from the Custom Grids on your form. See: Open Custom Grid
