Success Hours: Intake Forms

 

 

 

Intake forms, when designed correctly, can setup an entire Contract or Vendor management process to run smoothly.

By focusing on the input types and the user-experience, we show how and why you should be paying close attention to the structure & appearance of your Contract & Vendor request forms.


In this session, we dived into creating a new intake form; starting from scratch to  build out the form sections, fields, dynamic content, easy-to-use inputs and layouts & guidance!

If >$500K go to Vendor Managers and CFO for approval

A: Yes, following steps like the below demo, you can use Intake Form values to drive conditional approvals for your Contract & Vendor requests:
