Create New Form Template

Forms that are published to tablets have 3 key components:

Templates – Each electronic form is called a Template in the eForms™ Administration module.

Categories – Each template contains one or more categories of questions (for example Job Information, Equipment Information, Employee information).

Questions – Each template category contains one or more questions for the user to answer (for example Job Number, Report Date, Employee Number, GPS Location). Each template question must either be answered or marked Not Applicable before the form can be submitted back to Sage Paperless Construction.
