AMPLUS Forms

Remember Logins

By default, the app requires the user to log in on the device every time it is opened.

This provides high security, although it can be a nuisance if the device has its own PIN to unlock. Ticking this option means the user will stay logged in on the app between sessions.

Log User Location

Enables logging of the user’s GPS location.
Location (if available) is logged on every app synchronization and stored in a user’s account history.

Date Format

Enter the date format to display. Valid options are:
d, dd = day
ddd, dddd = day of week
M = month
y = year

Example:
MM/dd/yyyy, dd-MMM-yyyy

Time Format

Enter the time format to display. Valid options are:
h = hour
m = minute
s = second

h/H = 12/24 hour

Disable Password Change

By default, the app’s Settings screen allows users to change their password as desired.


Use this option to remove the password change area from the in-app Settings screen for all users in this company account.

Enabling this option does not remove the “Forgot Password” link from the outer app login screen.

If an App-Only user (without website access) uses the “Forgot Password” link, they will still receive a reset email. However, clicking the link inside that email will result in an error blocking them (“Your account is not permitted to change password. Please contact your administrator”).

To manage password resets effectively while this setting is enabled, administrators can:

– Use Reroute Password Resets: Configure this setting to forward password reset request emails directly to an administrator instead of the end-user.

– Manual Admin Reset: Reset the user’s password manually via the User Details page in the web portal, where you can generate and provide a new password directly to them.

– Communication: Customize your invite/reset email templates to clearly instruct app-only users on your internal password recovery process.

Wait for Sync On Load

By default, the app will perform all data syncing in the background, allowing the user to start working immediately while the sync is still in progress.

When this option is enabled, the app will instead display a blocking overlay when syncing, forcing the user to wait for the sync to finish. This will only occur when the user logs into the app or resumes the app from the background -other background sync intervals will continue as normal.

This is useful for cases where you must ensure the users have the latest data before they start working with the app.

Hide Remember Answers

By default, the app’s Settings screen allows users to remember answers for Form screens.

Use this option to remove the Remember Answers checkbox from the app for all users in this company account.

Show Draft Entry Badges

Form Screen icons on the app’s start screen show a circular badge containing the number of saved, in-progress entries for that Form.

By default, the app will show a box outlining the user’s Tasks on the start screen. This option allows you to disable this default.
