Define form settings

You will need to enter the name of your form. Please note that the form titles will be visible to your clients.

From here, you will need to determine the editing and viewing permissions (internal form or participant form) and requirements (required or optional)

  • If a form is requiredyour clients will need to fill out the form before being able to move forward with the onboarding steps and/or connecting with you. If a form is optional, your clients will have the option to skip the form to connect with you and come back to it after their session.
  • If the form is a participant form, both clients and the providers/ coordinators can access and provide responses to the form (note that the system only allow one user to provide responses to a unique form). If the form is an internal form, only providers/ coordinators can access and provide responses. 

Next, you will need to determine whether the form would require any signature or not. If a form requires a signature or more, you will be able to define the signature requirement by checking "Require participant signature" or "Require staff signature" or both in this section. 

  • "Require participant signature" means the assignee of the form is required to sign the form and the form has to have a response in order for it to be considered complete
  • "Require staff signature" means any provider or coordinator who has access to viewing the form can sign the form. The form will be considered complete when it has a response and is signed by a provider/coordinator. It's most common that the host or main caregiver of a participant is the person whose signature is required on a form. 
  • Both "Require participant signature" and "Require staff signature" mean that both the assignee of the form and a provider/coordinator user have to sign the form and the form has to be a response in order for it to be considered a complete form. 

Add questions to the form

When you're ready to start building, begin by clicking on the "Insert content" button.

"Insert Content" will allow you to choose the type of questions you want to include in your form. You're able to select from multiple choice, multiple checkboxes, single checkbox, scale, dropdown, short answer, long answer, and file upload options.

You can also select 'Other' options if you'd like to adjust the formatting of your form or add additional context around other questions or form elements. You are able to enter basic text, an image, a divider line, or a page break.
