The everyday screen - open a project, fill in its form, submit to generate a PDF. This is also where the app lands on launch, before any document is open.
No document open
Three ways in, all from the Main Menu: Open File (pick
a .yatate/.ypf from disk), My Projects (your own curated list, desktop/iOS
only), or Online Library (browse ready-made templates, see Print the Sample Club
Card).
The form
Fields render top to bottom in the order they're defined:
| Field type | What you see |
|---|---|
| Text | A text box, with length/pattern validation if defined |
| Number | Numeric-only entry, with min/max validation if defined |
| Currency | A text box formatted as currency |
| Date | A text box you can type into, plus a calendar-picker icon |
| Dropdown | A picklist of the form's defined options |
| Checkbox | A simple on/off switch |
| Image | A photo picker |
| Signature | A signature capture panel - Type (pick a script font) or Draw |
| Drawing | A thumbnail of the reference image (if any) - tap to open a full-screen editor and mark it up |
| Repeating Group | An "Add row" list of sub-fields, each with its own Remove |
| Label | Static text - nothing to fill in, never in the generated data |
Autocomplete suggests values as you type on some fields, drawn from
autocomplete.json (see Autocomplete Editor) - never
from anything previously typed.
Validation: field-level errors show inline; cross-field errors show as a banner after Submit. Nothing is generated until every check passes.
Presets, when a form has them enabled: Save current as new preset captures everything currently filled in; tap a saved preset to apply it; Clear blanks the form. A preset literally named "Default" auto-applies silently whenever the form opens fresh, if one exists. Presets are managed on their own screen - see Presets Editor.
Submit runs the full generation pipeline
and lands on Output Preview on success. Nothing about the
submission is saved anywhere except the generated PDF itself. Nothing is added to
autocomplete.json either - that list only ever changes when the form's author edits
it directly.
Reset clears everything back to blank.
