Forms

ProofHub forms help you gather requests from internal users as well as people who are not part of your account. Forms help you in establishing a definite channel of communication between teams, external clients, and stakeholders. The submitted requests are automatically added as tasks in the selected tasklist of a project. 


You can have your custom fields enabled in the forms and they are typically used to gather more information about the product or service. These fields will be available to the end-users and they can fill in the essential information through them.
