Pendragon
Forms has many options for multi-user synchronization. If you are
doing pure data collection, you simply obtain a multi-user license to
cover each handheld that you are using. For each form, the data
collected on the different handhelds is placed into the same table.
Each record includes the date and time of creation and the HotSync
username of the handheld device.
When
Pendragon Forms is set up for a work order application, records can be
created on the desktop with the username of the appropriate handheld
device in the UserName column. Incomplete work orders are
automatically sent to the appropriate handheld. After being
completed on the handheld, the record is automatically removed.
If you are
synchronizing bidirectionally, data can also be shared across handheld
devices. However, care must be taken when doing this. If two
users modify the same record on their handhelds, then whoever synchronizes last
wins.
