The Simpro Digital Forms mobile app allows you to fill out and submit forms in the field. Forms can be used to capture a range of information based on how they have been built. This includes text, number, calculations, images, ratings, choices, photos, signatures, drawings, dates, times, GPS coordinates, links and barcodes. You can also populate and auto-populate information using reference data. Learn more in How to Manage Digital Forms and How to Use Reference Data and Images.
Based on your form setting you may be able to email the form when it is completed and edit forms that have already been completed.
If your company uses Workflows you might only be required to fill in certain screens within a form before handing it off to another user, or another user might handoff a form to you. Learn more in How to Create a Workflow.
