Pendragon Forms on the Handheld

On your handheld, your form can be edited in two modes:

	In Field View, each field is displayed on its own screen. This is ideal for surveys in which each question on the form is to be answered sequentially. Field view provides more space for responses and data entry tools. For example, in this mode, numeric fields have an on-screen numeric keypad.
	In Record View, you can view and edit eleven fields at once. The list can be scrolled to see more fields. You can also browse multiple records using the navigation buttons.
