This article is part of Task Management Forms and covers how to complete and submit a form. 


Forms can either be completed as part of a guide task or on an as-needed basis. When completing a form from a guide task, users must follow instructions from the My Tasks page. When completing an unscheduled form, the form can be opened from the Forms page.

Open a New Form


From a Guide Task


 To open a new form from a scheduled guide task, users can click the blue arrow button beside the task in the task grid or click Guide Me from the open task sheet.


The form assigned to the task will be opened for the user to complete. 



From the Forms Page


When completing an unscheduled form, users can begin the process from the Forms page by either clicking the Fill Out Form button or the Use Template button from an open template. 


Fill Out Form Button




From the Forms page, locate the form template for the form that needs to be completed.  

If the form was recently used, the form template will appear in the form templates preview.

To view all form templates, click the View all form templates button in the top right corner of the Forms page. 
Once the required form is located, click the Fill Out Form button on the form template tile.
The empty form will open for the user to complete. 




Use Template Button


Open a template by clicking a form template tile from the Forms page or the Form Templates list.

This will open the form template.  
From the open form template, click the menu icon to open the form template menu.
From the form template menu dropdown, click Use Template
The empty form will open for the user to complete. 

Complete a Form


To complete a form, users should first select the Location that the form is going to be logged for. Once a location is selected, the form components will be enabled and available for completion.




The Form Date will default to the current date. However, the date can be edited as needed. 


Completing a form requires users to complete the form components. Form components will differ. Similar to task types, users may be required to complete any of the following: 


CheckboxRequires users to check a checkbox.
Yes/NoRequires a selection of either Yes or No options. 
Short TextRequires a short typed answer. 
Long TextRequires a longer-form typed answer. 
Single SelectRequires the selection of one option from the available list. 
Multi SelectRequires the selection of one or multiple options from the available list. 
DollarsRequires a number that represents a dollar amount. 
NumberRequires a number. 
PercentageRequires a number that represents a percentage. 
TemperatureRequires a number that represents a temperature. 



The form will auto-save as the user makes progress with the form. Once a form component field is edited, the auto-save will update. Users can see the date and time that the form was last saved. 


To close out the form without submitting, users can click the x-icon in the top right corner of the form. The form will save to the Existing Forms list with a status of In Progress




Once the form has been completed, click Submit to complete and submit the form. The form will then appear on the Existing Forms list with a status of Submitted




Edit an Existing Form 


Users can edit existing forms while they are still in progress. When the form's security access allows, submitted forms can also be edited to be resubmitted. 


 To edit a form, navigate to the Existing Forms grid on the Forms page. Then, click the form that needs to be edited. 




For forms labeled as In Progress, the form will open into edit mode. Users can continue editing the form as needed before clicking Submit or closing the form to save the progress without submitting.  


For forms labeled as Submitted, users will need to click the Edit button in the top right corner of the page. This will return the form to a status of In Progress so that users can edit as needed.


Note: Only forms that allow for resubmission 




 Click Re-Submit to resubmit the form. Close the form to save the progress without submitting.
