Equipment Tracking Forms

Equipment tracking forms are structured documents used to record, monitor, and manage the movement, status, and assignment of equipment across teams, locations, or projects. They help organizations keep accurate records of where equipment is, who is using it, when it was checked out or returned, and what condition it is in. Equipment tracking forms are commonly used in offices, schools, healthcare facilities, warehouses, construction sites, labs, and field service operations to track laptops, tools, devices, instruments, and other shared assets. By standardizing tracking workflows, these forms reduce loss, improve accountability, and make it easier to plan equipment availability.

With Jotform, equipment tracking forms can be built quickly using a no-code, drag-and-drop Form Builder and optimized for fast, repeatable submissions. Conditional logic can adjust fields based on equipment type or action (check-out, transfer, return), and file upload fields can collect photos or condition notes when needed. Submissions are stored in Jotform Tables, making it easy to filter by asset ID, user, location, and status. Teams can also use automated notifications to confirm check-outs, alert managers about overdue returns, or flag damage reports.

How to Create an Equipment Tracking Form

Creating an equipment tracking form with Jotform helps you standardize asset tracking while keeping records searchable and easy to manage.

1. Choose a Template or Start from Scratch

In My Workspace, click “Create” and select “Form.” Start with a tracking or inventory template and customize it for your equipment workflow.

2. Add Equipment and User Identification Fields

Collect asset ID, equipment name/type, serial number (if needed), user name, department, and location. Dropdowns help keep entries consistent.

3. Define the Tracking Action

Add a field to select action type such as check-out, return, transfer, or inventory update. Use conditional logic to show only the fields required for that action.

4. Capture Timing and Accountability Details

Include check-out date, expected return date, condition at check-out, and acknowledgment checkboxes. For transfers, include receiving person details.

5. Add Attachments When Needed

Use file upload fields for photos of condition or damage and attach receipts or documentation if required.

6. Publish and Track Submissions in Jotform Tables

Publish and share the form link or QR code. Use Jotform Tables to filter by equipment, borrower, location, and return status.
