FORMS
Managing forms can be easier
It’s understandable for agency staff to become frustrated with the amount of time it takes to re-enter data from paper, email, and PDF forms. And when data is re-entered, data quality issues can easily result: these repetitive manual tasks can lead to errors and even missed submissions. With limited staff resources, it can be challenging to meet legislative deadlines and move onto other pressing tasks.
A huge time saver for staff while improving community satisfaction
Windsor’s nFORM streamlines the process of permitting, licensing, and certification for regulatory agencies. It automates form submissions, eliminating unnecessary manual work by agency staff. Staff can build forms and define what workflows occur for each form without the reliance on IT. Even calculations are done and numbers are rolled up into reports, saving additional time. Regulated entities and the public fill out their information using nForm’s intuitive wizard-based forms, making entries much easier.
nFORM Features
Forms are built without IT staff.
Program staff can publish or update forms on their own by easily building a form from scratch or adjusting an existing template.
It connects many systems together.
nFORM integrates with existing web systems, backend databases, and online payment options without requiring IT intervention. This allows for pain-free online publishing of new forms that can be done by program staff.
nFORM is compliance-ready.
nFORM is designed for compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA W3C 508 compliant) and fully supports eSignatures and CROMERR, as well as Annual Penetration Test certification.
Form submissions are intuitive.
nFORM provides an intuitive online wizard for the public or regulated entities to submit applications, reports, questions or other data securely. Staff then can review, respond and approve as needed.
Forms connect to automated workflows.
Through intuitive wizards, staff define deadlines, who reviews and approves and when to communicate with each applicant. It eliminates risk of lost paperwork or emails and speeds up processing.
