inBound™ comes with a number of available objects to help enable any type of mobile process form.

Labels

Labels are used for creating Form headers, section headers, shaded backgrounds or placing images throughout the form.

Textfield

Plain text fields are fields to capture entered data. They can be designed large or small, depending on font size.

Drop-down

Drop-down fields are fields that display a pre-determined set of data entered in the Designer.

Drop-down CSV

Drop-down CSV fields are fields that display a pre-determined set of data from a CSV data source in the cloud. The user has the ability to use custom CSV data files for large amounts of data to populate the drop-down (ie. product item database, customer list, etc.)

Location

Location fields are used to capture the actual location of the data collected. Each location field is clickable, which brings up a map and GPS corrdinates of the location entered.

Date

Date fields are used to capture date and time information.

Numeric fields bring up quick entry number keypad for data entry. Numerical objects can be used together to perform calculations on a form and between fields.  Example - enter data in numeric field A and numeric field B and a numeric answer is auto-calculated and displayed in field C.

Counter fields can be used to capture or tally numeric ranges. The ranges can be set in the Designer (ie. 10,20,30...)

Signature fields capture the physical signature of the user of the form. The signature is captured as a seperate file when sent to the cloud but referenced on the form record CSV file for tracking.

Switch

Switch type fields are On/Off fields. On/Off fields are used to capture data such as YES/NO, ON/OFF or any other binary decision. They can also be set in conjunction with each other...if one is ON, then other has to be OFF, etc.

Paragraph

Paragraph type fields are Note fields. Similar to the Text field, Note fields can be designed larger. When users enter text, the information wraps within the field so the user can see all data entered. Use this in conjunction of Auto Resize Objects on Form Details and each of these fields will auto-expand.

Video

Video type fields are video fields. Video fields can be defined as either stand-alone video (.mp4) or embedded streaming video (like YouTube or other URL.)
