Hi,
I’m setting up a wildlife crime tracker to replace our paper-based system for better efficiency and accuracy. I managed to set up the screens and they ask what I need and follow each other well. But I don’t understand the ‘Result Element’ part, and I can see on my reports that I have 10 repeated rows of information for every one time I input data. Which I think is because I don’t really understand how the elements work and just named the elements after each screen title.
Hi Steph,
I normally use Result Element as a variable where you store the current value of a sighting in a concrete screen. I like to use the name of the screen in caps and the name of the result element in lower case. Later when I display the sightings in the query editor I have always my result element on top of each columns and allows me to filter for a concrete value or element for example. If you don’t use it you may have in the header of the columns values of different elements…
Hope it helps!.
So if I leave the Result Element as blank, when I fill out the information it comes up with text not being filled and there’s a little yellow warning triangle next to ‘result element’. Do I need to fill out the result element to avoid this error message?
Never mind! Fixed my issue, got the save button mixed up with the next button so I was saving every screen instead of just putting next!
Text control needs result element, you have right.
Cheers Holger
