Update Vista Forms on the Web

Add new entries and update or delete data in Vista forms from the Vista Web portal.

In order to update forms using Vista Web:
  • You must be a licensed user of Vista Web Office Tools, or you must be assigned access to the Field Apps module.

  • You must log in to the web portal using your Trimble ID single sign-on (SSO) account. For help configuring SSO, see Configure Trimble ID Logins.

  • You must have access to the forms (and attachments where applicable) in Vista.

If you have any issues accessing Vista forms in the web portal, please contact your System Admin for assistance.

Note: Only certain forms have editing capabilities. To determine which forms have editing capabilities, see Vista Forms Available in Office Tools.

To edit custom forms, see Update Custom Vista Tables and Forms on the Web.

  1. Log in to the portal with your Trimble ID SSO account. For help, see Sign in to Vista Web with Trimble ID.
  2. Select Office Tools in the navigation bar.

    The Vista Web Office Tools page opens.

  3. Use the Company dropdown at the top of the page to filter custom tables and forms by company.

    If you select a different company, the page refreshes to show the forms that you have access to in that company. If you launch Vista after selecting a company, Vista will default to the company selected in Vista Web Office Tools.

  4. From the hamburger menu in the upper left of the page, select the module containing the form you want to edit.

    A list of the forms that you have permission to displays.

    3. Lookup fields display with a magnifying glass icon next to them. Select this icon to choose a lookup and lookup value. The same lookups that are available for a form in Vista are available in Office Tools.
    4. When you are finished making changes, select Save Record at the bottom right of the page. The data you entered is saved to that same form in Vista.
    5. Select Back to Grid in the upper left to return to the main form.
