Looking for Ideas to Improve Android NM Collector

[nmCollector]

Many of you know I have companion collector apps for the Android platform. Well, I have neglected them for years and have decided to take some time to upgrade them.

As I was exploring the latest capabilities of the Android platform, it occurred to me that map integration might be useful for the addresses. I constantly forget the locations of people and places that I have purchased things from and it might be useful to have my Android app route a path for me based on an address that I recorded for a receipt or disposition.

What suggestions do you have?

Thanks,

Is your software ATF approved for use as a C&R license bound book?

As of this writing, the requirements for an electronic bound book can be found here: (https://www.atf.gov/files/regulation...ing-2007-1.pdf)? For various reasons, but mostly the first requirement, I chose not to implement them with my NM Collector Software.

Instead, I provide a report that prints your data in the required format. You can then use these print outs for your bound book. It also provides a paper backup of your data should you lose your electronic records.

Here is the definition of a bound book: https://www.atf.gov/firearms/qa/what-bound-book

A “bound book” is a permanently bound book or an orderly arrangement of loose-leaf pages which must be maintained on the business premises. The format must follow that prescribed in the regulations, and the pages must be numbered consecutively.

I have just begun to use the program but I haven't seen any way to sort the data yet. Is there an option for sorting?

I agree about sorting. Provided I have not yet explored all the goodies your program offers, but so far I have not seen a way to search for something, like all Garands or everything shoots 22LR.

Thanks for trying out NM Collector!

So, this is a discussion for the Android version which has a big sort button and a magnifying glass for search on the first screen. However, I think you guys are talking about the desktop version.

For the desktop version, you all might want to take a look at the statistics page. Here you can sort on any column by clicking the title of the column. Once you find what you are looking for you can double click on the item you are interested in and it will open the edit screens for that item.

Also, you can use the "find" button on the main page to find any item in the list. One last thing, you can manually sort your items in the tree by dragging and dropping them from one location to another.

I hope this helps.

Thanks,

Clay, apologies for posting off-topic! And thanks for the quick and helpful reply, I'll try to stay in the correct topic in the future!

Can the Android version pull data from , for example, Dropbox so as I edit data on the desktop it will show up on my device?

[nmCollector]

No problem posting to the wrong thread. I just wanted to be sure I was answering the right question.

You should be able to use drop box to synch your data but the process is not linked specifically to drop box so it is not automatic. More details here: http://www.nmcollectorsoftware.com/A...stedUsage.html

Thanks.
