Questions

Client forms FAQs

What types of information can I collect using forms?

Any type of information. Use existing built-in fields, custom fields, or standalone questions whose answers will not be stored in Engager.

How are forms sent to clients?

Forms are sent through the secure client portal, which keeps data collection GDPR-compliant and gives clients peace of mind when they submit sensitive data.

Can forms pre-fill information I already hold?

Yes. Forms pre-fill where data already exists, then map the responses back into the client record, which cuts out copy and paste during onboarding.

Can I customise forms to suit my practice?

Yes. Forms are fully customisable, so you can add, remove or edit fields to collect exactly the information you need.

Can I send forms to lots of clients at once?

Yes. Forms can be sent in bulk to multiple clients, and responses are kept together in Engager so they are easy to manage.

No. Forms can collect temporary or ad-hoc information without storing it in the system long term.
