Simple GIS Software Tutorials - Designing Custom Pop-Up Data Forms for Linked Tables
This video will demonstrate the new capability available in the Simple GIS Client Version 12.1.1 release that allows users to design custom data pop-up forms for tables they have linked to their shapefile or vector layer's custom data form. This is a powerful tool allowing users to create custom pop-up forms for recording data such as inspections for a given feature. In addition, users can also link to external documents (spreadsheets, pdf, photos, etc.) just as they can in the normal custom form designer except in this case, the documents will be linked to a specific record in the linked table. So as an example, if a field user was performing an inspection for a piece of equipment in your GIS and wanted to link to photographic documentation of the inspection, they can easily do that in Simple GIS. Version 12.1.1 also introduces a new calendar form control that allows the user to pick a date from a calendar and store in a field in their shapefile or linked table record. There are also new options to allow the program to manage all of your document links which will place any linked documents or photos in appropriate subfolders under the root of your shapefile and manage these folders for you which helps significantly in data portability.
