Hi,
I am trying to have a Form view, Daily tasks, from which I would like to link/call other forms, which have their own fields.
For instance,
- Morning Exercises
- Diary Notes
- Evening Prayer
Thank you
Hi!
If I understand your request, you would like to be able to “tie” together under a Daily Task record -
- a list of one or more Morning Exercises
- a list of one or more Diary Notes
- an Evening Prayer
I would recommend building a Parent/Child relationship structure where Daily Task is the Parent and the other three are children associated together as part of that daily task.
An example of what this might look like. I have a Work Order as my Parent record. On each workorder, I may want to:
- add a list of photos
- add a list products purchased or serviced
- add Materials used to perform the work
- etc
I created separate tables for Photos, Products and Materials and then linked them to the workorder as children.
A new Work Order form looks like the below. Then clicking Add on each of the children records goes to a different Form to enter their details.
A New Work Order entry Form
Clicking Add on Job Site Photos displays this Form
To get more details on how you can create this in your app (its actually easy to do) refer to the article below and read carefully the “Expressing Ownership Between Tables”. I’m sure you’ll have questions afterwards so just post back here in the Community with those questions.

Dear @WillowMobileSystems John Baer,
Thank you for your time & effort in helping.
I have tried using the same logic as in the Order Capture App.
But, I just wanted to call other tables (form view) from this form.
However, I shall try this.
Thank you.
This is another option. In the Form view definition, there is a Finish View property. When you hit Save, it will navigate to the next view you specify. So you could “chain” the Form views together in this fashion. See image below for location of Finish View property.
The downside is that you would have to go through the chain each time. You couldn’t choose which ones to access and skip the others.
What I described above with Parent/Child and this option above are the only ways I know you can access another Form from a current Form.
See Finish View property at the very bottom
