Set up team forms
Clinic admins build the forms staff can send, and choose which team each one goes to.
Go to Clinic Settings → Team Forms, or tap Manage forms on the Team Forms page.
Before you start
A form goes to one or more groups, so you need at least one group, like "Managers" or "Front desk". Set groups up under People → Groups. See Set up groups.
Start from an example
The Start from an example tab has ready-made forms: Employee discount change, Time clock fix, Something is broken and Suggestion box. Tap one to add it. Each starts as a draft you can change before anyone sees it.
Build a form
- On the Forms tab, tap New form.
- Pick an icon, then fill in the Name and, if you like, When to use it (a line telling staff when to send it).
- Under Send to, pick the groups that should get it. Everyone in them gets a bell alert, and it waits on their team space until it's done.
- Add your questions under Questions. Type one and press Enter, or paste a list to add several at once.
- For each question, choose its Type, and turn on Required if it must be answered.
- Tap Save.
Question types
- Short answer: one line, like a pet name or an invoice number
- Long answer: a few lines, for details
- Pick one: one choice from your list
- Pick any: tick as many as apply
- Yes / No
- Date: picked from a calendar
- Number: like hours or an amount
- Just text (no answer): a note shown on the form, like "Managers reply within 2 working days"
For Pick one and Pick any, put each choice on its own line under Choices.
Publish it
A new form is a Draft until you turn on Staff can send it. To publish, it needs a name, at least one question and at least one team. Once it's Live, staff see it on the Team Forms page.
Turning Staff can send it off takes the form back to a draft without losing what's already been sent.
Change or retire a form
Edit a form any time and tap Save. Forms already sent keep the questions they were sent with.
To retire a form, tap Archive. It's hidden from staff, but everything sent with it stays. Find it under Archived and tap Restore to bring it back.
Note
Only the sender, the teams a form goes to and clinic admins can see what was sent. Put anything private, like pay questions, on a form that only goes to your managers.
