Hi, I am fairly new to inForm (2.0.20), but nonetheless would like to offer up my feature wishlist for 3.0. Please excuse and correct me if I suggest a feature that already exists. It looks like there will be a number of great advancements in 3.0, I'm looking forward to it.

Here's my hopeful wishlist:

1) HOT KEYS!!! Just about every feature currently requires a click-scroll-click. It would be nice to reduce many features to just a click. For example: "del" to delete an entry; "enter" to view an entry or form; "n" for new entry; scroll wheel left or right to collapse or expand a category. The application "ToDoMatrix" has a very nice implementation of hotkeys. An extra bonus would be to make the hot keys configurable.



2) In a "select-box" control, it would be great if a user could add additional options on the fly.


3) Form Listing --> New Form -->View all capability: From the "Form Listing page, one can choose "New" or "view all" for any database/list. If one chooses "New", one cannot go back to "view all" for that particular database/form without first returning to the "form listing" page. (I hope that makes sense.) The only way to accomplish this currently, as I understand it, is to first choose "view all" from the "form listing" page, then choose "new". After a new entry is made, one can then press the escape key to get back to the "view all" screen. In my humble opinion... I think it would be nice if the escape key always returned the user from the "new", "view" or "edit" page, to the ""view all" page. Another tap of the escape key would bring you back to the "form listing" page. Or alternatively, there could be a option in the " new", "view" or "edit" page called "view all" .... or best yet... a hot key like "v".


4) Ability to change the widths of columns in the "view all" screen.


5) Input memory: (This might be a tall order), but it would be slick if when a user types in a text field, the contents of other entries for the same text field with similar letters would pop up for the user to choose from. SImilar to the default input system in Microsoft Excel.

That's all for now. Thanks for listening,
Ethan

It would be nice to have the function to export to PDF from these forms for reports.

It would be nice to have the function to export to PDF from these forms for reports.

We have a feature in 3.0 that allows you to output a word template. This would be close to what you are looking for (you can lock down a word template to prevent 3rd party edits) so it would be similar to a PDF file. Would this work for your needs?

Since the topic of outputting has come up (and data exchange formats in general), how about the option of communicating not in .CSV files, but with .XML files? That would enable seamless merging with a variety of data stores, as well as populating PDF forms on a form server, addressing the document creation aspects.

TFL!

Hi,

I would want the ability to import existing forms from different formats (i.e. word and infopath) as templates. I have a current project to implement mobile form solutions to our field workers using our existing electronic forms that are in infopath format. Our company uses many electronic forms that are in Infopath format and it would save so much time if you could simply import these forms to inForm format instead of creating new forms.
