Yes, GoFormz enables you to create reusable form templates that promote consistency and efficiency across your organization. Once you've designed a form—complete with fields, logic, and branding—you can save it as a Template. These Templates can be deployed company-wide, assigned to specific teams or user groups, and updated centrally as needed.
Any changes made to a Template are automatically reflected in all future forms generated from it, ensuring standardization and streamlining change management.
Learn how to
build and manage Templates in our step-by-step guide.
A
Template is the blueprint of your digital form—where you define the layout, formatting, logic, and data fields. It serves as the standardized model for your documents.
A
Form is a fillable copy generated from a Template. Forms are what users complete on mobile devices or online, capturing real-time data while maintaining the structure defined by the original Template.
To learn more, read our full guide on
the differences between Templates and forms.
To build a Template from scratch, log in to GoFormz on your computer and access the Template Editor. If you don't have an existing form to upload, you can start fresh using our
List View builder. In List View, you can create a structured index of fields—organized into sections and tabs—allowing for easy navigation and customization. You can also use design elements, referred to as
Page Elements, to build a form from scratch.
This flexible approach is ideal for designing forms from the ground up while ensuring clarity and consistency across teams.

creating a Template to get started.
