[Forms & Checklists](https://help.jointimecloud.com/forms-checklists?hsLang=en) # How to Manage Forms ## The Forms module uses a groups-first layout. When you open Forms, you land on the groups list. Click into a group to see its forms, and click a form row to view submissions. A breadcrumb trail at the top lets you jump back to any level. #### **Creating a New Form** 1. Navigate to a group (or **\[Ungrouped Forms\]**) so you are viewing the forms list. ![Image 29-07-2026 at 1.57 PM](https://help.jointimecloud.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Image%2029-07-2026%20at%201.57%20PM.jpeg?width=644&height=348&name=Image%2029-07-2026%20at%201.57%20PM.jpeg) 2.

A choice dialog appears: - **Start from Blank** — opens an empty form builder. - **Select Template** — choose from a library of common form types (coming soon). ![Image 29-07-2026 at 1.58 PM (1)](https://help.jointimecloud.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Image%2029-07-2026%20at%201.58%20PM%20(1).jpeg?width=344&height=209&name=Image%2029-07-2026%20at%201.58%20PM%20(1).jpeg) 4. The form editor opens directly to the **field builder**, so you can start adding questions right away. 5. ![Image 29-07-2026 at 1.59 PM](https://help.jointimecloud.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Image%2029-07-2026%20at%201.59%20PM.jpeg?width=420&height=254&name=Image%2029-07-2026%20at%201.59%20PM.jpeg) 6.

Click **Save Changes** when finished. #### **Editing a Form** 1. Navigate to **Forms** and click into the group that contains your form. 2. Click the **Edit** icon on the form row, or use the **⋮** overflow menu if the icon is hidden. ![Image 29-07-2026 at 2.00 PM](https://help.jointimecloud.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Image%2029-07-2026%20at%202.00%20PM.jpeg?width=644&height=349&name=Image%2029-07-2026%20at%202.00%20PM.jpeg) 3. The editor opens to the **field builder**. Use the **Settings** (gear) icon to access configuration options. ![Image 29-07-2026 at 2.01 PM](https://help.jointimecloud.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Image%2029-07-2026%20at%202.01%20PM.jpeg?width=420&height=260&name=Image%2029-07-2026%20at%202.01%20PM.jpeg) 4. Click **Save Changes**. #### **Duplicating a Form** 1. Click the **Duplicate** icon (or find it in the **⋮** menu) next to the form you want to copy. ![Image 29-07-2026 at 2.01 PM (1)](https://help.jointimecloud.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Image%2029-07-2026%20at%202.01%20PM%20(1).jpeg?width=644&height=348&name=Image%2029-07-2026%20at%202.01%20PM%20(1).jpeg) 2. Enter a new name for the copy. ![Image 29-07-2026 at 2.02 PM](https://help.jointimecloud.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Image%2029-07-2026%20at%202.02%20PM.jpeg?width=644&height=361&name=Image%2029-07-2026%20at%202.02%20PM.jpeg) 3. The editor opens automatically so you can customise the duplicated form. 4. Click **Save Changes** when done. #### **Archiving and Unarchiving** - Click **Archive** (or find it in the **⋮** menu) to hide a form from employees without deleting it. ![Image 29-07-2026 at 2.03 PM](https://help.jointimecloud.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Image%2029-07-2026%20at%202.03%20PM.jpeg?width=644&height=283&name=Image%2029-07-2026%20at%202.03%20PM.jpeg) - Switch to the **Archived** filter to find archived forms. - Click **Unarchive** to restore a form and make it visible to employees again. ![Image 29-07-2026 at 2.03 PM (1)](https://help.jointimecloud.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Image%2029-07-2026%20at%202.03%20PM%20(1).jpeg?width=644&height=278&name=Image%2029-07-2026%20at%202.03%20PM%20(1).jpeg) #### Row Actions and the Overflow Menu Each form row shows action icons (View Submissions, Edit, Duplicate, Archive, QR Code). When the screen is narrow, some icons collapse into a **⋮** (More actions) menu — click it to access the hidden actions. The **View Submissions** icon displays a red badge with the number of unread submissions for that form. This count is personal to you — other users have their own unread counts. The badge disappears once all submissions have been viewed. ![Image 28-07-2026 at 4.37 PM](https://help.jointimecloud.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Image%2028-07-2026%20at%204.37%20PM.jpeg?width=670&height=306&name=Image%2028-07-2026%20at%204.37%20PM.jpeg) Tips - Click any form row to jump straight to its submissions — no need to find the icon. - The red unread badge next to **View Submissions** tells you at a glance which forms have new submissions waiting for your review. - The form editor opens to the field builder first, so you can start building immediately and tweak settings later via the gear icon. - Duplicate a form when you need a similar template for a different team — it saves time. - Archive forms that are no longer needed instead of deleting them, so you keep a record. - [Account & Security](https://help.jointimecloud.com/account-security?hsLang=en) - [Attendance & Timesheets](https://help.jointimecloud.com/attendance-timesheets?hsLang=en) - [Award Interpretation](https://help.jointimecloud.com/award-interpretation?hsLang=en) - [Biometric Scanners](https://help.jointimecloud.com/biometric-scanners?hsLang=en) - [Employees](https://help.jointimecloud.com/employees?hsLang=en) - [Forms & Checklists](https://help.jointimecloud.com/forms-checklists?hsLang=en) - [Geofencing](https://help.jointimecloud.com/geofencing?hsLang=en) - [Human Resources](https://help.jointimecloud.com/human-resources?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Organisation View](https://help.jointimecloud.com/human-resources?hsLang=en#organisation-view) - [Integrations](https://help.jointimecloud.com/integrations?hsLang=en) - [Job Tracking](https://help.jointimecloud.com/job-tracking?hsLang=en) - [Leave Management](https://help.jointimecloud.com/leave-management?hsLang=en) - [Mobile App](https://help.jointimecloud.com/mobile-app?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Kiosk](https://help.jointimecloud.com/mobile-app?hsLang=en#kiosk) - [Mobile App](https://help.jointimecloud.com/mobile-app?hsLang=en#mobile-app) - [Payroll](https://help.jointimecloud.com/payroll?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Xero](https://help.jointimecloud.com/payroll?hsLang=en#xero) - [iPayroll](https://help.jointimecloud.com/payroll?hsLang=en#ipayroll) - [MYOB](https://help.jointimecloud.com/payroll?hsLang=en#myob) - [Smartly](https://help.jointimecloud.com/payroll?hsLang=en#smartly) - [Reporting](https://help.jointimecloud.com/reporting?hsLang=en) - [Roster](https://help.jointimecloud.com/roster?hsLang=en) - [Settings](https://help.jointimecloud.com/settings?hsLang=en) - [Shifts](https://help.jointimecloud.com/shifts?hsLang=en) - [Time Clock](https://help.jointimecloud.com/time-clock?hsLang=en) - [Dashboard](https://help.jointimecloud.com/dashboard?hsLang=en) Service Desk Copyright © 2025, Timecloud Ltd
