How annoying is it when you have completed sheet after sheet for ONE form to find at the end you have missed something out? It’s an easy mistake to make and we have all done it. Surely there is a better way? Well, with our new dynamic required property there is no need to try and remember everything – The Dynamic Required property will remind you to complete them! The property uses a simple formula within the wanted required field to determine it being required or not depending on the previous field.

For example:

1st field: “Do you have a disability?” – “Yes” – the next field will now become “required”

2nd field: *“Please give details of your disability below”

As you can see, giving the answer “yes” will prompt you to fill in the subsequent field, leaving you frustration free!

…In fact, maybe we should say; now you don’t see it, now you do! Have you ever found yourself filling out forms but not knowing which sections to actually fill in? Our new dynamic hidden field property displays only the fields you need, when you need them. Saving time and making everyone’s lives easier. The property uses a simple formula within the wanted hidden field to determine it being hidden or not depending on the previous field.

EG:

“Has the customer given feedback” – “Yes” – [Box appears] “Description”

“Has the customer given feedback” – “No”

As the example above shows, if you’ve answered “no” to a question, you may not need to see a description box. This takes away laboriously typing “N/A” into boxes that don’t apply to you!

We colour code everything. From the post-it notes and highlighter pens on our desks to the clothes we wear. Our new tool, makes colour coding a doddle. This can be used to differentiate parts, risks, products, the possibilities are endless!

Are you a plumbing supplier? You could choose to group all Taps in red, Toilets in green etc, making it easy to view products in a certain category at a glance!

Are you a delivery driver? You could choose to mark delivered jobs green, “left with neighbour” yellow, and undelivered, red.

The possibilities are endless!

When asked about peoples biggest bug bear at work, you can almost guarantee “completing tedious forms” will raise its ugly head fairly quickly. Have you ever felt like you are completing the same details in the same fields every day? We have, and we realised surely there must be an easier way?!

Have you ever been describing something to someone and asked for a pen and paper? You have haven’t you..!? Sometimes we just need to draw something to explain what we mean. Our Sketch Tool gives you the power to draw and send a sketch on your smartphone!
