The Forms Add-on is incredibly powerful for completing paperwork and reports on site. If you forget something while completing a Form, or make a mistake, you can revisit all types of fields in a completed Form. Just open it from the Diary, tap Edit, and you can work back through the Form.

Editing Forms in the Online Dashboard

To edit a completed Form in the Online Dashboard, click on the Form in the job’s Diary, then click ‘Edit Form’: You can now work through the Form again, editing responses as needed: NOTE: any Signatures captured will be removed when a Form is edited, and when you finish and generate the edited Form, it will re-populate merge fields with current data e.g. if the Form includes the date, and the original Form was completed a week ago, and you edit it today, the new version will have today’s date.

Click on any version to view it.
