All form scripts will appear in the new Scripts menu in the menubar at the top of the screen. Scripts can also have keyboard shortcuts added to them to make running them easier when using the keyboard. You can double-click a Script to go directly to the Script Edit window. To create and modify these scripts, visit the Scripts tab in the form inspector panel. Form scripts are executed manually by you.
In addition to field scripts, Tap Forms 5.3 also supports form level scripts, which can be used to create new records and update existing records within your forms. Saving will now simply save the script and will not loop through your records executing the script for each record. *If you don’t want to have your script update all the records in your form, uncheck the Update records when saving checkbox button. When you’ve finished, clicking Save will save the script to your field. You can also adjust the text size of the script you’re written with the font size slider. As you work, you can choose how you’d like the result to be returned to the field (number, date, text, etc.). You can also double-click on a Script field to quickly open the Script Edit windowĪfter you’ve clicked the Edit Script… button, you’ll be able to input your own custom scripts, as well as use snippets and available fields to help you in the process.
Scripts allow you to write code that can perform complex actions on your data. New to Tap Forms 5.3 are Scripts both at the Form level and Field level.
