A template configured with a Table Form field type allows for flexible data entry in Collect Mobile, including using a connected data logger. Combining other supported field types and attributes within a Table Form field provides an efficient interface for entering a variety of data. The annotated image below illustrates a Table Form field populated with data.

 

 

The Table Form field functions and icons that correspond to the annotated number are described below.

1.Search – Enter a value in the Search box to identify records (aka rows) in the Table Form field that match the search criteria. A "Search" and a "Clear" option will display in the right side of the search box. Tap Search to activate the search. Tap Clear to remove search terms. Search can be used in conjunction with the Filter function to limit the search to specific column(s).

2.Filter – Tap the Filter icon to open a drop-down dialog to select specific columns to constrain the search term. By default, all columns are selected. When filter option(s) are selected, the search box tooltip indicates which columns are being searched. To clear a configured filter, select All Columns.

3.New Record – Tap the New Record icon to add a new record to the grid.

4.Delete Record – Tap the Delete Record icon to delete a single record. A Delete icon will display to the left of each record. Select the record to be deleted. A confirmation message will display prior to record deletion. Select the Delete button a second time to remove the delete record icons and return to normal grid entry.

5.Fullscreen Mode – Tap the icon to expand or contract to/from fullscreen view.

6.Refresh – Tap the icon to refresh the Table Form field grid.

7.Connect/Disconnect Logger * – Tap the icon to connect or disconnect a data logger.

8.Interval * – Select the icon to configure the data logger to capture data records at a specified interval, from 5 seconds to 10 minutes.

9.Fast Creation Record * – Select the icon to capture a data record instantly.

10.Connected Logger * – Details about the connected data logger.

11.Warnings – Warning icon(s) can be displayed when editing if the Warning attribute for a field has been configured in the Template Designer. For example, a warning displays if Turbidity has not met stabilization criteria.

12.Errors – The error icon will display if an invalid value is entered. The Error attribute for a field can also be configured in the Template Designer to display the error icon when an entered value does not conform to specific criteria. For example, an error displays if a pH value is outside of the allowable range.

13.Reset – Tap the icon in the active cell to reset the cell value to the previously entered value or no value (empty). If a default value has been configured for the field in the Template Designer, a default value option will also be available to select. This option is not available for formula field types.

14.Show Historical – Tap the icon in the active cell to set the cell value to any value currently present in the column. The Show Historical check box must be selected for each desired field in the Template Designer for this option to be available in the Table Form field.
