Basic Information or User Guide Needed

empulse 8h ago

The Chrono website seems to be missing a lot of basic information.  Is there a guide somewhere that covers the system, (not "How To" create this type for that type of form)?  

Example: I am trying to create two forms, My first attempt to see if this will meet my needs.

I have dragged a header over from the right site, entered appropriate info in the fields, but how do I save it so I can proceed to adding more fields?  There is an area at the top right (of the box created by the dragging operation.) with four Icons, a wrench, two triangles, another that I do not know how to describe characterize and an "X".  The X, the Wrench and the Triangles I have figured out, but I do non know what the other is for and the it displays no info when I hover the mouse over it.  Do I just have to save the whole form each time I add or change a field?

What is the difference between Save and Quick Save on the whole form?

A guide to each of the items on the right under actions and views.  Some are obvious (I Think), and others not so much.  A couple of sentences about each would be extremely helpful.

Some guide on using data from other tables would be helpful (at least to me). 

I have a table with approx 40,000 rows that I need to use.  I need to display data selectively from some of the rows, (one record or row at a time, possibly display a list of selected rows) and obtain  the index id of the row in the non-chrono table. I need to save that index id with data  form that I am creating.  The form I am creating needs to also obtain data from a couple of fields in the external table.  I do not need to write to the non-chrono table at all but I do need to save entries made through chrono forms to a separate chrono table. In other words, basic relational CRUD operations.

I have seen all the videos I can find on YouTube but they all are dreadfully outdated.  The newest I found was 10 years old and none cover the info I need.
