Once you are done collecting data on your mobile device and synced the data to the server, you may want to edit the records on the web. In addition to viewing/editing records collected on a mobile device, you can also create records completely from the web.

Accessing Record Data in an App

When you first log into your user account on the web app, You will be taken to the homepage.

To access the Data Viewer to view, edit, or create records, click the 'View Records' option for the desired App.

This will take you to the web app's Data View for that app. It is the main view to see the data that has been collected for a given app.

Record Data View

At the top of the screen you can switch the record view to change the record visualization. There are three main view options for your record data. The map view, the split/hybrid view, and the table view.

If you have record location capture disabled, the map and split/hybrid view will be disabled.

Going through all the views: map view, split view, and table view.

Locating records is, most of the time, easier using Split View.

Switch to the split view or to the one that you prefer. To help you locate the record faster, you can also use the various sorting, searching, and filtering options.

Once you have located the record you wish to view you can click on the record in the map view or select open or quick view from the record options button to the left of the record in the data table.

You can view and share a record by selecting the open option from the record options and then copying the URL for the record.
