The Forms feature allows administrators to create and manage digital forms to collect important worker information. You can design forms to capture details such as personal data, job information, certifications, or other required inputs. This feature is available on the Premium plan.
Forms are saved as each field is entered (which is why location capture is an option for each field). A form can be partially completed and resumed later before final submission.
This tool helps streamline data collection, keeping all worker information organized and easily accessible within the system. In this guide, we’ll walk you through how to create, customize, and manage forms effectively.
Step 1: Go to Manage > Forms.
Step 2: To create a new one, click the "Add Form" button in the top right corner.
Step 3: Enter the name of the Form.
Step 4: Save the form after naming it.
Step 5: After saving, you can manage or modify the form settings from this section.
Here, you can define the display conditions (e.g., onboarding, start shift, end shift) and configure form limitations (such as limiting entries per user or resetting the user entry limit).
1. Onboarding – The form appears during the worker’s initial setup or first use of the app, ideal for collecting basic information.
2. Start Shift – The form shows up when a worker clocks in, perfect for pre-shift checklists or safety confirmations.
3. End Shift – The form displays when clocking out, useful for end-of-day reports or equipment condition checks.
4. Transfer In – The form appears when a worker transfers into a new job, allowing site-specific updates or handover notes.
5. Transfer Out – The form displays when a worker transfers out of a job, ideal for logging final notes or condition reports.
6. On Shift – The form can be accessed anytime during an active shift, great for mid-shift reports or incident logs.
7. Not On Shift – The form is available when the worker is off-shift.
8. Multiple per Shift – Allows the same form to be submitted more than once in a single shift, handy for tasks that need repeated entries such as deliveries or maintenance logs.
1. Limit Entries per User – Sets how many times a worker can submit a specific form to prevent duplicate or excessive entries.
2. Reset User Entry Limit – Automatically resets the entry count after a set time period, allowing workers to submit the form again when needed.
Step 6: You can now add fields to your form.
Step 7: Select a field.
