Overview of creating a QuickForm

In order to facilitate data capture in the field, you can create custom input forms for any shapefile in ArcPad. QuickForms contain basic functions and options for creating forms in the field when you do not have access to your desktop PC.

When creating a QuickForm you can select from the following options:

• Layout: Determine the name, size, page types, text and background color of the form.
• Fields: Select the fields to appear on the form.
• Controls: Manage required fields including settings for minimum and maximum values, and create list values and tool tips.

Alternatively, you can use ArcPad Studio to further edit your QuickForm or to create custom input forms that include more complex controls, numerous design options, and advanced scripting tools.
