eTip-027   Installing and using eTouch for Health on the Apple iPad and iPhone

eTouch for Health on the iPad operates as a companion to your primary eTouch running on your desktop or laptop computer. The companion eTouch runs on the iPad via subscriptions which are available for monthly or yearly time periods.

Activating the iPad/Cloud Access: Cloud Icon

1. Either at the time of purchase of the Primary eTouch or later on the Cloud Config screen purchase a monthly or yearly iPad/Cloud access subscription

2. Register your eTouch and your eTouch code (if you did not do so at installation time) on the Cloud Config screen

3. You will receive an email from eTouch for Health within 24 hours of receiving both your subscrition order and your registration, you will be issued an access code. Enter this code and then update your Key Status and you will be activated.

Once eTouch is installed on the Primary Computer and after the iPad/Cloud Access is activated in the steps above, then the eTouch files are copied from the Primary Computer to the iPad using Apple iTunes.

eTouch runs on the iPad using the free FileMaker Go 14 App. This is downloaded from App store using your iPad. Once FM Go is installed, you are ready to go! Just open FM Go and open the Alpha.ETH file and you are on your way.

Note: all the Apps that you have installed on your iPad will now show in a list. If you scoll down past these, you will see another list of Apps listed under File Sharing. This is where FM Go and eTouch will live. We have also noticed that the scroll bars on this part of the iTunes store are sometimes difficult to seperate.
