FieldWorks Lite user guide
FieldWorks Lite is a fast, simple app for building a dictionary. You can use it on a phone, a tablet or a computer. It works offline and shares your work with your team through Lexbox, the online service that stores your team's projects.
FieldWorks Lite is a companion to FieldWorks Classic (the FieldWorks desktop program, also called FLEx), not a replacement. It edits the dictionary part of a FieldWorks project; the rest stays in FieldWorks Classic. FieldWorks Lite users get each other's changes automatically, but changes only cross between FieldWorks Lite and FieldWorks Classic when someone presses Sync. How sync works explains this.
You log in to FieldWorks Lite with a Lexbox account, but you don't need the Lexbox website from day to day: syncing happens inside the app.
