What is the purpose of the Green Arrow button?

Yi Lik,

This is the Repeated Attributes button which enables you to capture the edits you have just made for the current record as a 'snapshot', to be repeated automatically for the next record you create in this related table. Basically performs copy/paste from previous feature to new feature.

Sorry to thread-jack - but this is one of my favorite ArcPad features!!

If you are collecting MULTIPLE features with the SAME attributes, just follow these steps to save time in the field:

1. Fill out your form ONCE then tap on the Repeat Attributes before tapping OK
2. Open the Table of Contents and turn off the Edit Form (3rd checkbox on the right, after Info and Edit)
3. Continue to Capture your Features. The Edit Form will be populated with the same info as the first form, BUT you will no longer see the Edit Form!!
