Web: How to Set-Up and Manage Forms

Capture what happens on every job — automatically, in the right place, every time.

🔜

Coming Soon

Forms is not yet available in Lessen Pro. Stay tuned for release updates from our newsletter!

What Is Forms?

Forms is a feature in Lessen Pro that lets vendors build custom questionnaires and attach them to their work orders. When a technician is on a job, the form appears in their mobile workflow at a configured point — after check-in or before checkout — and guides them through whatever the vendor needs captured.

That could be a pool chemical checklist, a safety acknowledgement, a condition assessment, materials used, or a customer signature. Build and manage forms from Business Settings using a drag-and-drop builder with no technical setup required.

What You Can Do With Forms

🛠️

Build it your way

Using a simple drag-and-drop builder, create custom forms with any combination of question types — checklists, photo uploads, yes/no questions, numeric inputs, e-signatures, and more. No code, no external tools. Just build the form and publish it.

🎯

The right form, on the right job

Forms can be scoped to specific service categories, customers, or deployed across all work orders. Set a trigger point — after check-in or before checkout — and the form surfaces automatically in the technician's mobile workflow at exactly the right moment.

Nothing falls through the cracks

If a form is marked required, technicians can't complete the visit until it's submitted. Every response is saved directly to the work order record, viewable in the Questions tab, and exportable as a PDF or CSV.

📶

Built for the field

Forms work offline. Whether a technician is in a basement, a dead zone, or a remote job site, they can complete the form and it syncs automatically when connectivity is restored.

How It Works

The Forms workflow runs across two places — the web portal for building and managing forms, and the mobile app for technicians completing them on the job.

1

Build your form in Business Settings

Go to Business Settings > Forms and use the drag-and-drop builder to create your form. Add question types, mark fields as required, and configure the form name and description.

2

Scope and configure the form

Set when and where the form applies:

  • Scope — specific service categories, specific customers, or all work orders
  • Trigger point — after check-in or before checkout
  • Required or optional — required forms must be submitted before the visit can be completed
3

Technician completes the form on the job

The form appears automatically in the technician's mobile workflow at the configured trigger point. They complete and submit it on-site — even without internet connectivity.

4

Review responses in the work order

Submitted form responses are saved directly to the work order record and available immediately in the Questions tab. Responses can be exported as a PDF or CSV for reporting or record-keeping.

Supported Question Types

The drag-and-drop builder supports the following question types:

  • Checklists
  • Photo uploads
  • Yes / No questions
  • Numeric inputs
  • E-signatures

  • Forms will be available to build and manage from Business Settings
  • Technicians will complete forms in their mobile workflow automatically — no extra steps
  • Responses will be visible in the Questions tab of the work order
  • Exports will be available as PDF or CSV
