Design structured data-entry forms once, then fill them on every photo, video, or feature you collect. Forms turn free-text notes into consistent, analysis-ready attributes that flow straight into your exports.

This section is a work in progress.

Image placeholder: Visual form builder Shot to capture: The form editor in visual mode: a form with a dropdown, number, star rating and photo field, one field expanded for editing (label, required toggle, options).

Image placeholder: CSV definition with live preview Shot to capture: The form editor in definition mode: the compact CSV text (e.g. 'status,O,Status,N,active,active:Active|inactive:Inactive') with the rendered live preview below it.

Image placeholder: Filling a survey form in the field Shot to capture: The annotation dialog for a point feature with the assigned form's fields being filled: dropdown selected, rating set, photo attached.
