Utilities Tab, Form Control

Use this tab to synchronize the Device Types information between the development and forms databases. Forms can have multiple layouts for different device types, for example, phone vs. tablet vs. laptop. This data should change rarely; however, if you make a change in either the development or the master forms database, you must synchronize the changes between the databases. Otherwise, Form Control displays a warning message during operations if it detects that the Device Type data is not synchronized.

Device type information is set in Windows client design mode when you select Form > Definition > Edit Device Types.

To synchronize the information, use these buttons:
