# How to Use Forms on Mobile

## Forms in the Timecloud mobile app let you complete and submit digital forms — whether they are triggered automatically or filled in manually.

#### Overview

Forms are digital documents that your company has set up in Timecloud. They can be used for safety checklists, induction forms, incident reports, and more.

- When triggered, the form opens automatically — you must complete and submit it before proceeding.

- If you have **no internet connection**, you can still complete and submit forms.
- The form is saved locally on your device.
- Once you are back online, the form is **automatically synced** to the server.
