Build a form

A form is the set of questions someone answers after scanning a tag: what's wrong, how urgent it is, a photo. Your team can also use forms for inspections and delivery checks.

Only admins can build forms.

Create a form

  1. Open Settings, then Forms, and click New form. Give it a name.

  2. On the Build tab, add your questions.

  3. Check the Settings tab (more below).

  4. Click Publish.

A form needs at least one question before it can be published.

A form needs a menu

Staff reach a form through a menu. A report only becomes a ticket when the form is opened from a menu option, which is what happens when someone scans a tag.

Changing a published form

Settings, then Versions, keeps every published version. Revert puts an old version back, but it also turns the form back into a draft. A draft form disappears from your menus until you publish it again.

Retiring a form

A form that has been used can't be deleted. Choose Archive from its menu on the Forms page instead. Its old reports stay where they are.
