Forms Capabilities

Integrated into Workflows

Each form creates a “case” on the backend as part of a custom workflow—no data entry required. All documentation remains with the case, and the person who submitted the form can see its status at any time.

Field Types

Forms can contain components like numbers, checkboxes, passwords, dropdown menus, radio buttons, date and time fields, surveys, etc.

Data Validation

Spend less time fixing bad data. Form fields can require valid formats for dates, phone numbers, email addresses, etc.

File Attachment

No need to email files back and forth. Documents, certificates, plans, etc. can be uploaded directly into the case through the form.

Smart Fields

Reduce confusion by displaying only the information needed. (For example, if a contractor checks that a building doesn’t have a basement, they won’t see questions about basements.)

Drag-and-Drop Creator

Staff can create or modify forms without specialized coding knowledge.

Auto-Populate Fields

When a user is logged in, fields such as name and tax ID number will automatically populate.

GIS Integration

When an applicant types an address into a form, other information such as the owner’s name can be auto-populated into later form fields. It’s easier for applicants and ensures more accurate data.

Save Drafts

If a customer needs to come back and finish a form later, they can save a draft.
