Form Basics
Digital forms may be applied to many areas within the platform. Most commonly they are attached to job assignments and tasks within a team board. As such, it is recommended to first fill out Asset, Employee, User, and Client data on their respective tables. Please reach out to Support or review the knowledge base if you have any questions.
Form data is also commonly requested to be displayed on a Report. Reports must be built separately. Please contact your Account Executive or contact Support to check your report availability or to get a quote.
