If you have a form that has some fields in it that only need to be filled out if another field meets a certain condition, then you can do this in XForms using the conditional validation attribute.

Ever have a need for collecting “before and after” photos and data to prove that you performed the work you said you were going to perform? You can do this easily in XForms, with features like “Save Draft” that bypasses required fields, “Draft” watermarks on PDFs, and geolocation mapping to prove where the form was started.

Now you can download and use XForms Mobile on any laptop, even in offline mode, thanks to its Progressive Web Application (PWA) technology under the hood. It’s lightweight, full-featured, and at parity with the iOS and Android versions. This means that every single control….camera, photo attachment, signature pad, PDF viewer, etc works just like it does on iOS and Android.

If your forms need to be reviewed and checked for accuracy before they are assumed to be “official” or “approved”, you can use XForms’ simplified approval workflow for this.

It can handle single-step or multi-step approval workflows, one or more “approvers”, two-way comment threads, SMS and email notifications, and automatic signature append to final PDF submittals.

If your field crews need to record on-site time, they can enter start times and end times into their XForms field form, and XForms will automatically calculate elapsed time in seconds, minutes, hours, days, months, or years.

If you need specific aggregations and/or metrics reporting, your specific report can be custom built and displayed from a new “Reports” menu on the XForms dashboard.

You can now display table rows as “cards”. Some people call this feature “Subforms”. Similar to Kanban cards, it’s basically just another way of interacting with your table data.

If you are ever in need of downloading all your PDF forms in bulk, you can now easily do that, right from the Forms screen of the XForms dashboard. Here’s how.

Ever need to give graphical instructions to your field crews? Now you can do that in XForms, with a new Picture control that lets you insert a PNG or JPG image into a form template.

Now you can view the PDF version of a form right from the XForms Mobile app (iOS, Android, and web versions). It’s easy, simple, and fast.

You can now set up automated email notifications that are triggered when someone submits a form.  Takes less than a minute to set up, and has a few simple features.

XForms has a built-in audit trail…aka a form’s history, which tracks any changes made to a form, even if its deleted.

You can dictate the complexity of user passwords and expiration timeframe right from the Users screen of the XForms Dashboard by clicking on the green “Policies” button.

The web version of XForms Mobile can run in offline mode on laptops and even desktops. Sounds weird, but it’s true, thanks to Progressive Web Technology under the hood.

XForms has a variety of controls available that let you dictate what fields on a form are required or optional, what values are allowed to be entered in specific fields, and what the field display formats should look like.

if you have a field on a form that is capturing some values, those values can be grouped and displayed in a key performance indicator (KPI) block on your XForms dashboard.

When a user starts filling out a form, the geolocation of that user is automatically captured as metadata. This can then be plotted on the built-in map layer, exported direct to Excel, or integrated into other software tools via XForms’ RESTful APIs.

Wifi and cell coverage is not ubiquitous yet. Plus there are dead zones in basements, buildings, remote valleys, etc. This is why offline mode matters.

With XForms, you can now create a well-stylized PDF template for your input form in seconds….just 2 clicks.

We’ve made it super easy to export your data out of XForms and into Excel, even the geolocation data captured on your forms.

If you want different users in your organization to have access to different form templates and submitted forms, you can do that using XForms’ “application” feature, which is essentially a container of grouped forms and data.
