Take your forms mobile

Jotform’s solution is Jotform Mobile Forms, a native app available on the App Store and Google Play. Be it construction, real estate, food service, sales, healthcare, or any other industry that thrives on mobility, we know you need the full power of Jotform at your fingertips.

  • Offline forms and field-ready widgets

  • Turn your mobile device into a kiosk

  • Assign & publish forms via text message

  • And more

Chapter 2

Create approval workflows with form submissions

With Jotform, the data you collect can become a part of different projects, prompting a meeting to be scheduled, assigning a task, and more. If you use paper forms to collect data, that results in a lot of paperwork and makes it more difficult to kick off follow-on actions.

  • Build approval workflows from your forms

  • Customize your approval flows any way you like

Chapter 3

Visualizing your data with Jotform Reports

In the Jotform Report Builder, you can create visually appealing reports from your form responses in seconds. You could theoretically publish a survey, collect results, and draft a report with insights from your results all in the span of one workday.

  • Building the report

  • Form Analytics

Chapter 4

Documents and PDFs

PDFs are known for their fixed format that ensures consistent appearance across different devices and operating systems. However, this inherent stability can also make it challenging to fill out or sign PDF forms. Jotform offers solutions to transform PDF forms into user-friendly online forms.

  • Turn form submissions into custom designed PDFs

  • Smart PDF Forms

  • Jotform Sign

Chapter 5

Bundle forms and links into a useful app

  • Bundling forms to create mobile apps

  • App basics

VOLUME 2 READER COMMENTS

Unlock the Full Potential of Jotform

"I think it was a great read. I feel I have a really good understanding of how to use these features now."

Aleea Ferguson,

Podcast Producer, Golden Goose Creative

"I wasn't expecting it to be as clear and concise as it was. I also wasn't expecting to learn as much as I did. Having so many images in most of the chapters made it easy to read, look and attempt to duplicate with ease which made me feel much more confident using Jotform and also showing others how to use it too!"

Kate Player,

Associate Partner - Traffic Management, Red Rock Consultants Ltd

"Before I read the book, I thought that Jotform could only be used to create forms. I didn't know that users can create apps themselves with Jotform."

Janssen,

Civil Engineer, PT. Riau Andalan Pulp and Paper

Jotform Users from the Education Industry

We see a trend of staff adopting Jotform. More and more staff are using the templates and forms for their classes and events, and we’re looking forward to using Jotform more extensively.

Denicio Hilman

Program Manager and Team Lead, Hogeschool van Amsterdam

Previously, to make one little change in a form would take days, weeks, or months. With Jotform it takes literally five minutes and boom, I have a HIPAA-compliant registration form that patients can return to me, and the process moves forward so much quicker. Being able to implement an idea in minutes is super important for entrepreneurs and creatives…and that’s why Jotform is so critical for us.

Dr. Michael Salzhauer

Plastic Surgeon, Dr. Miami

Jotform has certainly increased productivity. Everything is electronic. We don’t have to deal with paper, faxes, or even PDFs sent via email. It helped us grow the business because there’s only so much you can grow as a fiscal sponsor if you’re dealing with a paper dump. Jotform provided this one uniform place for all of that.

International Documentary Association

We’re meeting our customers where they are to do bike demos. The offline capability of the Jotform app allows us to have our digital test ride form out on the trail. Since we rolled out Jotform we’ve seen an increase in sales by gathering that customer info through the form, putting it into our CRM, and allowing staff to have accurate follow-ups with their customers.
