Windows App Settings
You can use the TrueContext Mobile App as soon as you install it—just open the app and sign in. For more information and setup options, navigate to your Settings. You can check the app version, change notifications, reset your password, add a passcode for extra security, or get help from Support. This topic describes the options and information available in the Windows app settings.
To make it easy to find the Mobile App, it’s still called “ProntoForms” on the device apps list. Only the app logo has changed.

Application
Image quality settings
Resolution
Image resolution (Resolution) and file size (Compression) both affect image quality.
Note:Your admin can set a maximum resolution and file size in the question properties. This limits the image and file size, regardless of your app-level setting. If the admin chooses to Use device settings, your app-level settings determine the image quality.
You only need to change the image settings when:
-
Your device is low on storage space.
-
Your admin doesn’t know how large the images should be to display properly.
-
Your admin has selected Use device settings.
The Resolution setting controls the size of the image itself. The larger the image, the better the resolution (quality). The Medium (default) option works well in most cases.
Tip: Only choose a large image size when you really need to. A form that has lots of large images increases the form submission size, processing times, and data usage on the mobile device.
There are four Resolution options:
| Option | Maximum length of the long edge |
|---|---|
| Small | 640 pixels |
| Medium (Default) | 1024 pixels |
| Original | Original resolution and display size |
| Custom | Custom value |
Compression
The Compression setting controls the size of the image file. A higher compression reduces both the file size and the image quality.
Tip:If you choose a higher compression, we advise that you also choose a smaller Resolution.
