24.19. Updating Form Definitions
You can update the form definitions and related information on your iPad, pulling down updates from the LincDoc server, using the Update Forms option.
About Updated Information
The following information is updated when this feature is used:
- New forms. Any newly created forms are added to app. These forms are added to your All Forms list.
- Changed forms. If a form has been altered (for example, with new or updated source documents, fields, calculations, actions, etc.) it is updated in the app.
- Offline codelists and lookups. Offline codelists and lookups allow you to reuse existing data when not connected to a server (when "in the field"). They retrieve all available data from a server at once, which allows them to then use a filter that can be evaluated by an offline device (such as an iPad). Any item that uses a DANG condition may be used offline, as all of the data may be retrieved by using a "always" condition, and offline devices can evaluate the DANG expression.
