Create a form

Workstream US app for Managers — Create and customize forms with different types, questions, and privacy settings for team use.

Updated over a month ago

Workstream’s Forms feature lets you create and customize forms directly in the mobile app.

You can assign icons, titles, descriptions, and categories, then choose form types and privacy levels to control who fills them out and who sees responses. Each form can include questions or instructions with flexible formats like multiple choice, text fields, or file uploads.

Once built, you can reorder items, mark questions as required, and preview the form before saving. This ensures your forms are organized, clear, and ready for team use.
