What kind of custom reports are you looking for?</p> <p>Regards,</p> <p>Saghalie<br /> <a href="http://www.kcmhosting.com" rel="nofollow">http://www.kcmhosting.com</a> </p> https://www.machform.com/forums/topic/multiple-databases#post-21584 Tue, 12 Aug 2014 08:02:42 +0000 yuniar 21584@https://www.machform.com/forums/ <p>I'm afraid it won't be possible to re-populate the form with data previously entered. Sorry.<br /> MachForm doesn't support this functionality. </p> https://www.machform.com/forums/topic/multiple-databases#post-21572 Sat, 09 Aug 2014 18:38:24 +0000 fuscow 21572@https://www.machform.com/forums/ <p>This doesn't really help me in my situation. I want to be able to re-populate the form with data previous entered or create custom reports on the data in the database.. </p> https://www.machform.com/forums/topic/multiple-databases#post-21528 Sun, 03 Aug 2014 12:55:07 +0000 AMurray 21528@https://www.machform.com/forums/ <p>Machform doesn't work that way - you can only using one database for each installation.</p> <p>It shouldn't be the headache you suggest since Machform very neatly separates the Forms and each form's entries, easily managed and accessible for viewing.</p> <p>However using separate databases would require you to install Machform as two separate installations. It is not necessary as the Form Manager lists each form and has a number of links associated that help you manage each including an Entries Manager from which to view the submitted entries, separately for each form.</p> <p>You could also create multiple users, assign them to the particular two forms (1 each) so one can't see the other form, which would effectively be like two installs of the application. </p> <p>Finally there's no need to access the database itself all data is available from the front-end application, including options for exporting data, for example to MS Excel.</p> <p>Would suggest though, you read the documentation, <a href="http://www.appnitro.com/documentation." rel="nofollow">http://www.appnitro.com/documentation.</a> </p> https://www.machform.com/forums/topic/multiple-databases#post-21525 Sat, 02 Aug 2014 18:33:20 +0000 fuscow 21525@https://www.machform.com/forums/ <p>I use form for my high school alumni so there are several school years I work with, with my old form processor, i could have a different database for each form if I wanted. right now I am working on 2 forms, one for the alumni registry which is just a database of vital data so we can keep in track and the other form is for the reunion. I don't want this data going into one database as it would be a night mare to work with..</p> <p>So how do I have a different database for each form if I want to? </p>
