Windows Desktop Guide
FORM for Windows Desktop application is designed to optimize data collection in-field operations.
FORM Desktop application for Windows can run on Windows 10, and Windows 11 (x86-64 platform) versions.
If you use the outdated Windows version, you will work with the last FORM app version compatible with it without the ability to update the app to the latest versions. You will see an appropriate note on the app settings page.
Installing the FORM app on devices with the unsupported Windows version is impossible.
How to work with the application:
Install the application once. The link to the downloadable app distribution can be found on the Installationhelp article.
Enter your login credentials, hit enter, and wait until your forms' automatic synchronization and assignments finish. Please consider that you have to be online to log in and synchronize.
After the successful synchronization, you are no more dependent on the Internet connection. No matter whether you are online or offline, now you can perform your work assignments.
When you are ready, ensure you are connected to the Internet and start synchronizing to upload your work results and get potential updates, new assignments, and the work assets changes.
