This article lists several popular mobile features that are compatible with the Windows Desktop Client but it is not an exhaustive list.
Although not at parity with mobile, the following features provide a similar experience on Windows as they do on mobile.
Don't have a Windows desktop? No problem! Complete your mobile forms in the GoCanvas web portal on any internet-connected, modern browser using the Web Client.
Windows Desktop Client
Please note, the Windows Desktop Client is no longer receiving updates with the latest features. Please use the Android or iOS mobile applications or the Web Client, which will be brought to parity with the mobile applications over time.
The Windows Desktop client will display forms and Folders on the Forms tab.
Departments allow admins to divide a GoCanvas account so that various teams within your organization cannot see each other's forms and submissions.
This functionality impacts when your user is a member of two departments and a form they are filling out is assigned to both departments. The user has to choose which department the submission should belong to.
Table of Contents allows users the flexibility to complete a form in a non-linear fashion. Users can go in whatever order they want by choosing screens within the form to fill out.
Lists, Loops, and Tables are all compatible with the Windows Desktop Client, including Advanced Loops.
Allowing your users to pull submissions back down to their laptop/desktop and edit them is a powerful feature. By granting mobile users Edit & View permissions, users can create a new submission using the data from that prior submission and they can also view the PDF document that was created on the desktop client as well. This is great for daily or weekly reports that don't change much from one to the other.
- View PDF
After syncing the user can view the PDF document that GoCanvas creates. Whether you are using our Standard PDF, one that you created with our PDF Designer, or one we custom built for you, it is now visible right away. This is a great way to show customers a form and walk through it together.
- Sync After Tapping
- Submit
This is a control we have on iOS and Android, but it just allows the user to toggle this control on from the sync screen. Instead of being prompted if you want to upload after hitting "Submit" it will sync automatically.
- Web Link
Link your laptop/desktop users to other resources via our Web Link field. Perhaps there are other images, spec documents, pricing tables, etc. that your laptop/desktop users need to access. All of that is one click away.
- GPS
Users can capture the GPS location on the desktop client just like you are used to doing for users on iOS or Android devices. If you do not have a GPS chip in your laptop/desktop it will use your IP address.
