Re: Arranging data entry in data capture app

 

Hi Blake,

Section forms are supported and order of data elements within them is
respected on android data capture.
However, as Jason already has mentioned, custom forms are not supported in
android data capture and probably won’t be in the future.

Best regards,

Hi Blake

Yes, custom forms will absolutely not work with Android for sure, as you
are just using custom HTML there to provide the ordering. There is nothing
in the database to determine the order.

However, section forms should theoretically work, but the Android devs
would need to confirm this.

Regards,
Jason
