Offline rows/forms

[Dan_San]

I have a bunch of clients in the energy sector who need to conduct inspections where there is no connectivity.

The issue I seem to have is that, the inspection takes about 2 hours and has about 30 fields. They cannot do it one go, so they need to do it in pieces and save it.

In offline, once I add the record, I am not able to edit it.

Any suggestions for Glide or do I need to look at different technology ?

I haven’t used offline rows. If you use a custom form instead of a normal form, does that help?

Try using a custom form, just as @ThinhDinh said.

[Dan_San]

Thanks. I will try that.

@ThinhDinh @Hirfher

Assuming you mean this for the custom form, that doesn’t work. It seems like once you are offline, the EDIT function no longer responds.

I can add a row. I see the new row in my collections table, but when I try to edit the row, although it is giving me the EDIT option, it doesn’t do anything when selected.

No, that’s a normal form. We meant this.

How do I create a custom form?

I’m just dropping this here so I have something to refer people to when they ask. This is a simple concept app (copyable), that demonstrates the following techniques: Building custom forms for adding and editing list items (as an alternative to the native forms provided by Glide) Preventing duplicate new entries using User Specific Columns and Relations Enforcing mandatory input items The use of visibility conditions and user specific booleans to control user flow There is nothing particular…

ahhh… let me try this.

[Dan_San]

That worked like a charm…

Thanks
