Configure TransactField App

   TransactField AppThis topic is related to TransactField App. |  Deprecated in 21.11 This feature was deprecated in 21.11.

You can configure TransactField App using:

1. Client settings in the Settings tab of TransactField App, which you can modify.
2. System settings that are configured by a Journey Manager administrator. You can't change these settings in TransactField App. For more information, see configure form tiles.

Client Settings

Click Settings to change configuration in TransactField App.

Click Profile to change configuration of the user profile details.

This will cause the following to take place:

• Changed profile information is updated in Journey Manager next time you are connected to it.
• The information that you see on this page may vary depending on the configuration settings that your administrator has set up.
• It is also possible for you to configure multiple profiles, however this feature is rarely enabled.

Click Preferences.

• Click Sync Mode to change it to:
  • Immediate — which is how previous versions of the app used to synch. Synchronization happens after every form save, submit or delete and you could not open any form for several minutes until synching finished. An immediate sync will always occur when you login for the first time, change servers or after a local storage purge.
  • Background (default) — Synchronization now happens at regular time intervals (default is 30 seconds), not every time forms change as per the previous option. You can also delete multiple forms without the need to wait for synchronization after the deletion of each form.
  • Manual — synchronization happens only when you initiate it by tapping on the sync button.This mode is for situations when you are working offline, for example, and don't want your work being frequently synchronized.
• Click Sync With Wi-Fi Only to conserve mobile data bandwidth.
• Select a form display type from the Form Display Type dropdown list, which can be changed from Tablet though this is not recommended if you are on a mobile device.
• Click Purge Local Storage to delete TransactField App data stored on your mobile device. This should be used with caution and only as a last resort when corruption of local data may have occurred.

Click Password to change your password.

Click System Info to view useful information to diagnose problems within TransactField App.

Click Upload to populate the TransactField App Client Log in Journey Manager the next time you are connected to the server.

Don't turn sync mode to manual without a good reason. Background sync mode is the default setting and will synchronize the app with the server regularly (usually every 30 seconds depending on Manager setting). It's important to have your work regularly backed up. Manual sync mode can be used temporarily under very unstable network conditions. Ensure you switch back to Background sync mode in regular conditions.

Disable the Standard Submit or Attachment Button

To disable the standard Submit or the Attachment button, go to Nuts & Bolts > Form Options > Generation Options > Properties > HTML Generation > TFIELD.

Why would you use these options:

If a form has no mandatory fields, it would be useful to place the Submit button at the end of the form to prevent the form filler submitting the form too early. In this case, you would disable the mobile app submit button by unchecking the option, and place a submit button on the form.

If you had a form with no attachments, it is useful to remove the attachment button from the application to minimize confusion. Additionally, if you have elected to use the camera or gallery widget button in the form, and prefer your users to use the in form options, you may wish to un-check this option.
