Filling in on site

The app fills in the same forms as the browser, with the phone's sensors on top. Conditions (questions that appear or become required) apply too.

Opening a form

  • from the Forms tab;
  • by tapping Scan and pointing at the QR code printed on a document, a poster or a machine;
  • without an account, through Public forms.

Photos, videos and audio

  • Photo: take it with the Camera or pick it from the Photo library; several photos if the question allows it.
  • Video: tap Record a video.
  • Audio: tap to record, then Stop and keep.
  • Files: tap Choose a file to attach a document.

The app asks for camera or microphone access the first time.

Location and maps

  • GPS position: tap GPS to fix your position, or move the map to adjust it.
  • Area on a map: tap the map to place points (at least 3); Remove the last corner fixes a mistake.

Your location is only read when you answer such a question.

Signature

Tap Tap to sign, sign with your finger, then confirm. Start again clears it.

Tables and lists

  • Table: Add a row, then fill in each cell (text, number, yes/no, choice, date).
  • Data lists: tap the question, search with Search… and pick from the list provided by your instance.

Sending

Tap Send. If a required answer is missing, the app tells you which. Without a network, the answer waits on the device (see Working offline).

  2. Enter the 6-character session code, Your name and, if you received one, your Slot code.
  3. Tap Join: other people's answers appear live.
