Every operations manager in a data-intensive industry is familiar with admin challenges caused by the limitations of paper documents.
On the flip side, field teams also fight with paper because it’s inconvenient, prone to errors, and time-consuming to fill out. The struggle intensifies when tasks involve dynamic environments, such as hanging from a wind turbine or working on a rocking boat.
Fluix Dynamic Forms, equipped with extensive automation functionality, can be a solution for both parties.

What Are Fluix Dynamic Forms?
Fluix Dynamic Forms are mobile-responsive forms that enable fast data collection and submission from any device, while maintaining an adaptive layout that adjusts to different screen sizes.
In simple terms, you don’t have to zoom in or out while filling out the form, as the fields are presented in the most comfortable way for easy navigation.
Moreover, dynamic forms come with conditional routing, allowing them to change and display only the pertinent fields based on user interactions. This functionality is crucial if your business handles complex multi-page, multi-column forms, checklists, and diverse information requirements.
Key Features of Dynamic Forms
The cool part about Fluix dynamic web forms is that they offer features that extend beyond data collection.
Mobile Responsiveness
Mobile-responsiveness for forms means they adapt and display appropriately on devices with smaller screens, ensuring even large forms are convenient to fill out.
- Adaptive layout. Thanks to the flexible grid and viewport scaling, form elements, including text fields, dropdowns, checkboxes, and buttons, are easy to go through on smaller screens. They are positioned vertically to fit the screen width, ensuring you can easily interact with the form
- Optimized touch-based interaction. You can tap, swipe, and interact with the form easily using fingers on touch screens as input fields are designed for comfortable text entry.
- User experience. You can complete forms on the go, whether in the field, on-site, or in dynamic environments.
Conditional Logic
Using pre-defined rules set during creation, dynamic forms can display or hide relevant fields.
This ensures that users are presented only with information pertinent to their tasks: field technicians avoid unnecessary navigation through each field, and reviewers focus on what has been entered.
Imagine a field safety inspection. As an inspector begins the assessment, selecting “Electrical Systems” in your checklists triggers specific questions and checkpoints related to electrical safety. Alternatively, choosing “Fire Prevention” dynamically reveals sections relevant to fire safety measures.
With this approach, both technicians and inspectors focus on the specific safety criteria aligned with the inspected area, optimizing the process, and contributing to a more comprehensive and accurate safety assessment.
Multiple Photos with Comments
For more efficient data capture, in dynamic forms you can add multiple photos alongside detailed comments.
Your field teams could document various aspects of the process and capture a comprehensive visual record. Whether it’s recording equipment conditions, safety measures, or project progress, multiple photos give the depth to data collected.
Also, you’ll be able to add comments alongside each photo, providing more context. This is particularly important for construction jobs, safety inspections, or infrastructure maintenance, where visual evidence contributes to documentation accuracy.
Plus, it will simplify the creation of extensive reports, even those extending to hundreds of pages.
Customization in Fluix Form Builder
Every industry has its operations specifics, and how well you tailor your forms to mirror your processes is crucial.
Fluix Form Builder, with its intuitive drag-and-drop interface, lets you create, modify, and optimize forms without requiring technical expertize.
With pre-built blocks that you drag into your form, you both generate new forms and adapt existing ones to adhere to new safety regulations, integrate additional data fields, or improve approval processes.
Smart Automations
Another cool thing about Fluix Dynamic Forms is that they can be supported with automation where and how you need it.
At its core, you use them for data collection and submission. Or you can add them to more complex workflows that include multiple steps. Or you can export the collected data into whatever analytical tool you’re using. Or you can do it all at once. Or create your unique flow.
Here are some automations that can simplify and improve your data management:
- Pre-fill forms with the existing data from your ERP or CRM.
- Export data from a completed form into your ERP, CRM, spreadsheets or a BI platform you’re using.
- Route forms through the workflow depending on pre-defined workflow logic.
- Add file naming conventions and set up automated naming for files based on the input data.
- Export completed forms as PDFs to where you need them: save to the Fluix storage, your Google Drive, and/or send via email.
The above are just several possibilities of dynamic mobile forms. How you use them will depend on your processes and business needs, but one thing they will do for sure is save time and effort for managing complex forms, checklists, and contracts for both your admins and field teams.
