Sync forms (from web app to mobile app)
Sync Forms - Web App to Mobile App
With the LogAlto mobile app, you can access forms created on the web platform and use them offline, (for data collection). To do this, you first need to sync the forms from the web to your mobile device.
Requirements
Before syncing the forms on the mobile application, you must ensure of the following on the LogAlto's platform:
- Forms are up to date: Confirm that any recent changes have been saved.
- Forms are published: Only published forms can be synced to the mobile app. Learn how to publish a form.
- Forms are shared with you: Ensure the forms are shared with the correct users, including those using the mobile app. Learn how to share forms with users.
- Internet connection: You will need an internet connection to perform the initial sync and any subsequent syncs for updates or data submission. Once the forms are synced, they can be used offline for data entry.
How to sync forms
Once you login into the app, you should be on the Custom Forms page as shown below:
If the forms are not modified on the web app, then you can directly access the required form.
If you do not see your form or the form is modified on the web app, click on the syncing icon in the top right corner:
The process would take a few seconds and your forms should be synchronized with the web app version.
Tips
- First-Time Use: Ensure you are connected to the internet the first time you sync forms to retrieve them from the cloud.
- Missing Forms: If you cannot see your forms, check with your platform administrator to ensure the forms are shared with you. Learn more about sharing forms.
