The modern organization is a ‘mobile-first’ one.
Access to information, seamless workflows, and streamlined field processes make employees work more productive than ever before.
However, staying in step with digital technology can be a little overwhelming for growing organizations.
The challenges mainly lie in developing the most suitable strategy to adopt digital processes that can be complicated and intimidating.
Thankfully, Axonator optimized the digital forms & checklists creation process to make it easy for companies to shift from paper-based processes to a digital one.
In this article, I’ll explain how organizations can create mobile forms & digital checklists in 6 easy steps.
Let’s start with number 1:
Step 1: Create and log in to Axonator Account
As the first step, simply create an Axonator account, which includes a free trial with no credit card to other financial details required.
The entire sign-up process is intuitive and easy.
In addition, you can always contact our website’s help center or the online chat features for any assistance.
By creating and logging into an Axonator account, you get access to Axonator’s four components, including Sculptor (Mobile Form Builder), Automata (Workflow Builder), Enlighten (Report & Dashboard Builder), and Integrator (Integration Builder).
These components are specially designed and developed to help make your digital form & checklist creation process a breeze.
Step 2: Create Your First Mobile Form Or Checklist
The creation of forms & digital checklists is just a matter of a few clicks with Axonator. The entire process is no-code, intuitive, drag-and-drop based, and also comes with a responsive support system on standby.
To get started, log in to your account and follow these steps:
- After logging into your Axonator account choose the ‘DIY( Do it Yourself)’ option to get started.
- Click on the form builder & access all widgets.
- In the upper right, click ‘Create Form’.
- Give the app name & description and then click the ‘Create App’ button.
- Click on the ‘Form Builder’ to start the development of custom forms.
- Add and edit fields like text, photos, choice list, location, signature, date & time, audio & video, and QR-code to build apps that fit your business data collection needs.
- Once your form is built, click the ‘Publish’ button.
- Your new form app will be immediately available on your mobile device, ready for you and your team to start collecting data.
