Forms

Forms is a web based app which allows you to build quick data gathering forms and surveys via an intuitive build.

These forms are for internal use only, at the moment. The forms can be used for various types of data gathering from basic surveys, new employee on boarding forms, checklists, team/ company polls, etc.

The forms can even be used during a Teams meeting to capture and display responses in real time. The responses to the form can been seen onscreen, in various chart, s or exported to an Excel spreadsheet.
