Remote Updating of my Database
James Browne 
      
2 years ago
Hi Folks,

Looking for some advice on the best route to updating my database.

So my database tracks a work case from beginning to end. We go out to warehouse and inspect items. We currently record them on a job sheet and the database is updated when the crew return to the office.

I would like to speed the process up by having the database updated once we have inspected the item so there is not a whole load to be updated later. As we use the Citrix environment in the company I have suggested iPads so the crew can log into the citrix system however, I just want the guys to have access to certain items whilst in the warehouses.

Can anyone suggest anything that may assist me in trying to impliment this?

Thanks in advance folks!!

Maybe just build a Data Entry form that replicates the job sheet.  You might also checkout Simple Security.

If you current app is designed for local connections, and you want your crew to use the app via remote connections, then your app may need to be optimized (or re-designed) for the (much) slower remote connection speed.  Citrix is a virtual emulation type of service, I believe, that allows users to connect remotely.  But your app still has to actually send and receive data remotely and be able to do that well with the (much) slower connection speed.
