Did you every have the need to setup a process where you can track time while working in the form? Recently I was asked about if Infowise forms had the ability to performs some type of stopwatch capability. The answer to that is yes there are date and time functions available for this type of functionality. There is one caution though, you won't see a timer counting live on the form, that cannot be done. However, we can track time with custom buttons and functions.
With Infowise Modern forms, Dynamic rules and custom button controls you can build these type of processes easily. Below is a form that puts these idea in to action to implement a form of stopwatch with a lap timer. This type of timing system is used in downhill ski races and rally races where tracking the time a participant crossed several checkpoints on the course is as important as the time it takes to cross finish line. Each participant can have several (mostly 3 to 4) runs and their times will be averaged to determine the final placement of the winners. Fro the purpose of this blog we are just going to focus on the stop watch functionality.
