Training material for iRecord and Indicia

A set of training material for uers of iRecord is available online here

The documents, including a training manual (listed under Latest PDFs) can be downloaded here

You can also download a list of websites, apps and forms that have been created using Indicia List-of-Indicia-forms. The aim of this list is to give an overview of the diversity of data entry forms that have already been created and are therefore available to clone or adapt for other users, thereby saving development time and costs.
