Basic Settings

PropertyDescription
Remember Logins

By default, the app requires the user to log in every time it is opened on the device.

This provides high security, although it can be a nuisance if the device has its own PIN to unlock. Ticking this option means the user will stay logged in on the app between sessions.

Log User Location

Enables logging of user GPS location. Location (if available) is logged on every app synchronization and is stored in the user's account history.

Users&Groups > Edit User > Location History

Advanced Options

PropertyDescriptions
Disable Password Change

By default, the app's Settings screen allows users to change their password as desired.

Use this option to remove the password change area from the app for all users in this company account.

Wait for Sync On Load

By default, the app will perform all data syncing in the background, allowing the user to start working immediately while the sync is still in progress.

When this option is enabled, the app will instead display a blocking overlay when syncing, forcing the user to wait for the sync to finish. This will only occur when the user logs into the app or resumes the app from the background -other background sync intervals will continue as normal.

This is useful for cases where you must ensure the users have the latest data before they start working with the app.

Hide Remember Answers

By default, the app's Settings screen allows users to remember answers for Form screens.

Use this option to remove the Remember Answers checkbox from the app for all users in this company account.

Show Draft Entry Badges

Form Screen icons on the app's start screen show a circular badge containing the number of saved, in-progress entries for that Form.

Hide Task Status

By default, the app will show a box outlining the user's Tasks on the start screen. This option allows you to disable this default.
