Enterprise users can now take their already existing database tables and sync them with Device Magic, allowing for updates to their database to be passed seamlessly.<\/p>\n<p>Device Magic\u2019s Resources function saves users time spent searching for or re-entering existing data, translating to more quality data, by eliminating entry for information that can be <a href=\"\/blog\/automate-workflows-send-prepopulated-forms-dispatch\/\">pre-populated<\/a>. With Resources customers are able to enhance the way they use Mobile Forms.<\/p>\n<p>One use-case for Resources is the ability to have select list options. This simplifies the form completion process for your users and ensures a consistent answer format. Instead of users typing in the answers to the question, they can quickly choose the correct answer from the list provided through your Resource.<\/p>\n<p>Device Magic currently has five Resource types customers can utilize. Upload file enables you to attach a file so it can be downloaded by a user and viewed within a mobile form. Device Magic Live Database allows previously collected data to be referenced when completing submissions. Google Sheets Live Resource users are able to take their already existing sheets in <a href=\"\/integrations\/google-drive\/\">Google Drive<\/a> and sync them with Device Magic. Map Overlay permits users to take an image and position it on a map (GPS location, size, rotation) within the form builder. And now, SQL Live Resource, where customers can use their own database tables with Device Magic.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"center-img\" style=\"margin-bottom: 12px;\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/DM-ManagementConsole-SQL-Live.png\" alt=\"DM-ManagementConsole-SQL-Live\" \/><\/p>\n<h2>About Device Magic<\/h2>\n<p>Device Magic is a leading data collection app used by thousands of organizations worldwide.
