Facility Management Forms
About Facility Management Forms
Facility management forms are structured documents used to manage and document facility operations such as maintenance, inspections, space requests, and service coordination. They help organizations collect consistent information about building issues, work orders, safety checks, vendor visits, and operational needs so facilities can run smoothly and safely. Facility management forms are commonly used in offices, campuses, hospitals, hotels, retail locations, warehouses, and industrial sites. Typical workflows include maintenance requests, preventive inspection checklists, cleaning schedules, access requests, and incident reporting. By standardizing these processes, facility management forms reduce delays, improve accountability, and create clear records for follow-up and compliance.
With Jotform, facility management forms can be created quickly using a no-code, drag-and-drop Form Builder and tailored to different buildings, departments, or service categories. Conditional logic can show relevant questions based on request type or urgency, and file upload fields can collect photos of issues, invoices, or vendor documents. Submissions are stored in Jotform Tables, making it easy to track requests by location, priority, and status. Automated notifications can alert the right facility staff when urgent repairs, safety risks, or service interruptions are reported.
Use Cases of Facility Management Forms
Facility management forms support maintenance workflows, safety operations, and service coordination across buildings. Below are common ways these forms are used and the challenges they help solve.
Possible Use Cases:
- Facility maintenance and repair request intake
- Work order approvals and service scheduling
- Inspection and safety checklist reporting
- Cleaning, janitorial, and upkeep reporting
- Vendor access and service visit coordination
- Facility incident and hazard reporting
Problem-Solving Points:
- Centralize facility requests instead of scattered calls and emails
- Improve response time by capturing location and urgency clearly
- Support preventive maintenance through structured inspections
- Create documentation for compliance, audits, and vendor management
Possible Owners and Users:
- Facility managers and building operations teams
- Maintenance technicians and service desk staff
- Office administrators and department coordinators
- Vendors and contractors (for scheduled work)
- Employees or tenants submitting requests
Differences of Creation Methods:
- Facility maintenance request forms focus on issue type, exact location, urgency, impact, photos, and preferred access times for repairs.
- Facility inspection and compliance checklist forms emphasize pass-fail checkpoints, condition ratings, safety notes, and corrective action tracking.
- Facility service scheduling and vendor coordination forms prioritize work scope, visit timing, site access details, contact person, and required approvals or documents.
How to Create a Facility Management Form
Creating a facility management form with Jotform helps you standardize how facility issues and requests are reported, routed, and tracked.
1. Choose a Template or Start from Scratch
In My Workspace, click “Create” and select “Form.” You can start with a maintenance or request template and customize it for your facility workflow.
2. Add Location and Request Context Fields
Use Add Element to collect building name, floor/room, request category (electrical, HVAC, plumbing, cleaning), and urgency level.
3. Capture Details Needed for Action
Include description, photos, preferred access times, and whether operations are impacted. Use structured dropdowns to keep data consistent.
4. Use Conditional Logic for Different Request Types
Show different sections for maintenance, inspections, or vendor visits. For urgent safety issues, show escalation and “area closed” fields.
5. Set Up Notifications and Routing
Notify the right team based on category or urgency, and send confirmation to the requester with next steps.
6. Track Requests in Jotform Tables
Use Jotform Tables to filter by building, status, priority, and date and export data for reporting.
