# Forms and surveys

A form collects the same information the same way every time, for example a site inspection checklist or a customer enquiry form. When someone submits it, Forge records their answers.

## Fill in a form

1. Open the form, or the task that contains it.
2. Fill in the required fields and check your answers.
3. Submit it.

If you spot a mistake afterwards, follow your workspace's usual correction process rather than submitting a second response: two answers for the same thing can cause confusion later.

## Set up a form

An administrator or your agent can build a form and, where useful, connect it to a table of records, a follow-up task, or a document. Ask to see the questions and what happens after someone submits, before it goes live.

## What happens after someone submits

Every submission is recorded straight away. What happens next depends on how the form was set up: it can also add a row to a table, create a follow-up task, produce a document, or send a notification. Check this against a real submission before relying on it.
