TABLE-BASED INTAKE · Workflow idea

Turn a selected table into a form that asks for the right details.

Choose an approved table and prepare an intake form using its suitable fields. Let people submit information into a new record, handle files separately when needed, and have the table owner check the questions, required details, privacy, and destination before the form is made available.

01 / The starting point

A clear request.
A useful direction.

An approved table with fields chosen for a specific request or submission form

“Prepare a focused form from approved table fields and hold publication until the owner verifies the questions, permissions, and resulting record destination.”
An example request · Make it specific to your team.

02 / The work

5 tasks.
One useful outcome.

Helps teams create consistent forms from information already captured in their selected tables.

  1. Choose the table and intake purpose

    Confirm the table owner approves this use and define the specific task the form should support.

  2. Select fields suitable for the form

    Include only information needed for the task and exclude internal, sensitive, or unrelated table fields.

  3. Prepare clear questions and requirements

    Use understandable labels, make only necessary answers required, and describe how submitted information will be used.

  4. Review attachments and record destination

    Check how files are handled and confirm each response will create a record only in the approved table.

  5. Approve access before publishing

    Require the table owner to check the full form, audience, permissions, privacy notice, and resulting record behavior before launch.

03 / The result

Something useful.
Something to build on.

A task-specific intake form and a proposed new table record from each submission, with launch and access awaiting owner review.

The handoff

A task-specific intake form and a proposed new table record from each submission, with launch and access awaiting owner review.

Keep in mind

A form can expose internal fields, collect more personal information than needed, or allow unintended additions to a shared table. Use only approved fields, limit who can view and submit, protect file attachments, and require the table owner to approve the complete form and resulting access before it is published.

04 / Make it yours

Set the brief.
Set the standard.

A few choices shape the work around your team.

Identify approved tables and owners

Choose which tables may be used for intake and name the person responsible for each one.

Set field and data-minimization rules

Decide which fields are suitable for public or internal forms and exclude details not needed for the stated task.

Limit submission and table access

Define who may use the form, who may view responses, and what permissions are required to add records.

Review file handling and form changes

Choose how attachments are protected and require the owner to approve field, audience, or destination changes before publication.
