Using Task Forms¶
Task forms are versatile tools that can be utilized across various business functions such as delivery, sales, inspections, customer surveys, and field reports. The data collected through these forms can be instrumental in enhancing different aspects of your business, focusing on specific areas, or conducting market analysis. Employees can fill out these forms using the X-GPS tracker application during task completion or check-ins.
Creating Forms¶
To enable employees to fill out forms and for users to assign these forms to tasks, form templates must be created. Let's create a form for a delivery service, where employees deliver products like trackers and provide additional services if needed. Detailed form field types can be found here.
For instance, we need a form that is submitted only within the task zone to ensure task completion is recorded only after the employee has visited the task location. All fields are required except one.
- Text Field 1: Customer's and company's name.
- Text Field 2: Information about delivered products.
- Checkbox Field: Additional services provided (minimum 1, maximum 3 options, not required).
- Signature Field: Customer's signature to confirm receipt of the order.

Filling Forms¶
Forms can be filled in two ways:
- Check-in: An employee sends their location with a filled form. Any employee can choose a created form to send with check-ins without additional assignment.
- Task Completion: An employee completes a task and submits a form as a progress report. The form should be assigned to the task beforehand.
Assigning Forms¶
A form can be assigned to an existing task with the task update call or used during task creation.
create_form
parameter should be false
to add an already created form.
Retrieving Information from Submitted Forms¶
You can analyze the submitted forms in several ways:
Specific Forms Submitted with Tasks¶

template_id
of the desired form. - Retrieve the list of tasks with the specific
template_id
and time period. - Use the

Alternatively: - Get a list of tasks to find a specific task and obtain the form_id
. - Use the form_id
