Managing forms for equipmentLast updated on 05/16/2023
You can manage forms in ServiceTitan mobile in different ways. You can make it easier to understand which forms apply to which pieces of equipment, link forms to equipment, and copy the same form to multiple pieces of equipment at once.
Things to know
You can complete forms for equipment from the Forms tab, or from the Existing Equipment section of a job.
Office employees can see and access forms when completed and linked by technicians in ServiceTitan Mobile. However, office employees can’t link the form to equipment.
On the Forms tab, only forms that are relevant to the job’s business unit are shown. If a technician needs to work with a form from a different business unit, they can tap Filter By and select a different business unit.
Only forms that are relevant to the job’s business unit (BU) are shown. If you need a form from a different BU, tap Filter By and select the appropriate BU.
Manage Links and Copy To form options only appear if the form’s Assigned To field is set to Equipment. This is done when configuring the form on the office side.
If you start working on a form but exit the form before completing it, the Started label appears on the form.
The form also shows Started on the office side:
Complete equipment forms from the Forms tab
To save your technicians time and reduce error rates when duplicating forms for multiple pieces of equipment, they can now create several copies of a form and link them to several pieces of equipment in one step. Technicians select each piece of equipment that the form should be copied to, and the form is automatically copied and linked to each piece of equipment. Also, if you’re using smart fields, then as soon as the copied forms are linked, smart form fields are filled with equipment information.
Note: You can only copy forms to multiple pieces of equipment for forms that are assigned to equipment. To learn more, see Create a form in ServiceTitan.
