Or you can add a Form template and then edit the template by going to Company Dashboard > Manage > Forms > Add Form Template

Limit Forms to be only created in Company Dashboard

In the Company Dashboard you can limit Forms to only be created in the Company Dashboard by going to Manage > Account Settings > Edit > Adding Site level forms

Site Specific Forms

When a Site has a unique form, instead of creating in the Company dashboard you can go to Site level > Requests > Forms > Add Forms. If the form is not unique to that specific site, it is recommended to use the Company Dashboard Form creation.

Creating a Form

We will be going through the example of creating a Form from scratch in the Company Dashboard as this is the most common way to create a Form

0. Select sites when creating Company Dashboard Form

Before we can begin creating the form we need to select the sites that the form will be associated with.

1. Details

In the first stage you need to enter in the Title, Description, upload an image and any files you want to provide the resident. Once done, click next.

2. Form

This is where you enter in all the fields that are required, there are many to choose from which means any type of Form can be completed. The most common are Pet Application forms and Architectural Change Request Forms.

Enter in a title and description for each form field, select if its mandatory and then select the type of field.

The field types are:

  • Section Heading

  • Short Text

  • Long Text

  • Number

  • Check Box

  • Image Upload

  • File Upload

  • Date

  • Single Select

  • Multi Select

  • This Field is required: Makes the Field Mandatory forcing residents to complete

  • Show Field in Submissions Table: Allows the Admin to view the Form Field submission information in the Form submission table

  • Hide this field in site Requests: In Advanced settings you can allow forms submissions to be visible to all residents (Handy if issue in common area so duplicate submissions are less likely) but you want this particular field to be hidden from the view of residents that didn't submit the form.

Note: you can preview the form

3. Workflow

In workflow you create the types of statuses that are related to the form to suit your needs.

Enter in the name, type and description.

there are 3 types of status:

  • Unactioned

  • Actioned

  • Completed

4. Advanced

In advanced you have 3 additional options to select.

  • Enable admins to edit submissions from the residents: Once a resident submits a form, do you want to edit the form if they made a mistake or do you want them to resubmit the form if they make a mistake

  • Show a popup after the user submits a request: Once submitted the message will appear in the App

  • Does this request require payment: To setup payment integration with stripe, follow this article

  • Show Open site submissions on the App: allows the Form submissions to be visible to other residents, this is most commonly done for Common Area Maintenance request forms as it is beneficial for residents to see other form submissions

  • Submissions related to this form will be visible for Committee Members via the resident app and portal: This allows committee members to view the Form submissions so they can keep informed of the progress of the submission without reaching out to the strata manager

  • Send email notification for new form submission: Admins can be assigned to the form so they receive an email notification every time a form gets submitted.

  • Send email notification for new form submission: When a Form gets assigned to an admin, they will receive an email notification

  • Send email notification to primary site 'manager': Primary Site Managers will receive an email notification every time a Form request gets submitted

Once chosen click next and save, the form is now ready for residents to submit.
