Hello Courtney:
It sounds like you actually want to activate the form (not
export it)…I’ve answered both questions, just in case.
Activating a Custom Data Entry Form
If your goal is to ‘use’ the custom data entry form
in TMS, all you need to do is ‘activate’ it. To activate the form, you
simply change the form’s Active status, from False to True. This is done
in the Properties section of the Design Palette:
Be sure to save the form one last time, before closing it.
Importing/Exporting custom
data entry forms
The only reason to export a
form (in your situation) is to share it w/TMS users at another institution.
You can send it as an attachment in an email, then the individual receiving the
custom form file can Import it into his/her system.
To export a custom form, you go to File>Export (upper
left corner of Form Designer screen). You will be asked where you want to save the
file and with what name.
The person receiving the form would do the same, but he/she
would select Import (instead) from the File Menu in the Form Designer.
Hope this helps!
Annie

Subject: Exporting from Form Designer
Hello wise
ones,
I'm attempting to create my first new form in the Form Designer after watching
Annie's presentation at Collective Imagination. Can anyone give me a
step-by-step tutorial on how to export from Form Designer to TMS?
I can't figure it out!
