How to Create, Manage, and Use Forms in ClickTime Australia

Get Started With ClickTime Dynamic Forms

Introduction

ClickTime Forms is a dynamic form builder designed to fully digitize organizational paperwork, replacing traditional paper-based forms with customizable digital forms

In ClickTime Australia, the Forms feature replaces paper‑based processes with fully customisable digital forms that can be created, published, and managed from anywhere. Using the built‑in form builder, you can design templates for a wide range of operational needs — from job applications and payroll requests to incident reports, hazard assessments, and PPE inspections.

Forms can be saved as drafts for later editing or published instantly to make them available in the ClickTime mobile app. You can also rename, duplicate, or unpublish forms to keep your library organised, while preserving submitted data for audit and compliance purposes. Access controls ensure only authorised users can view or edit forms, and built‑in export tools make it easy to generate Excel reports for analysis or record‑keeping.

This guide explains how to:

  • Create a new form from scratch or a template

  • Customise fields and settings for your workflow

  • Manage existing forms without losing historical data

  • Control access and notifications for form submissions

Manage forms (Rename, Duplicate & Delete)

           ClickTime makes it simple to manage your existing forms—provided you have the
         appropriate access level. You can perform the following actions:
    • Rename: Update the form’s title to better reflect its purpose or content.
    • Clone: Create a copy of the form with all its current settings and fields.
    • Delete: Permanently remove a form that is no longer needed.

               
Forms that already have submitted data—whether from employees, staff, or
other users—cannot be deleted.
This is to prevent accidental loss of important information.
Instead, you can unpublish the form which would make the forms status as Draft,
which prevents further submissions. This approach ensures data integrity and aligns
with ClickTime’s policy against permanent deletion of forms with associated data.


          

Deleting Fields or Questions from a Form

When editing a form, you may choose to delete specific fields or questions. Here’s how ClickTime handles this:

    • Deleting a field or question only affects future submissions.
    • Any data already submitted through previous versions of the form will remain intact and accessible.
    • This ensures that historical records are preserved, even as you update or streamline your forms

Notifications & Emails Tab
The Notification tab allows you to configure alerts and email recipients for new form submissions. You can add multiple recipients to ensure timely updates whenever a form is submitted.

ClickTime offers greater flexibility by allowing you to designate all users within a specific security role or profile to receive notifications for new form submissions. Additionally, you can manually select one or multiple users within your organization to ensure the right recipients stay informed



Form Access Tab

This tab allows you to control who can view and edit a form by assigning permissions to specific role groups or security profiles. Click Her for more information on how the form access works

Important Note:

Before granting access to a user, ensure that their security profile already has permission to view or edit the Forms screen.

If a user's security profile does not include access to the Forms screen, they will not be able to see or modify the form—even if they are granted permission for the form itself.

To successfully give a user access, follow these two steps:

  1. Ensure their security profile includes access to the Forms screen

  2. Assign them permissions for the specific form

This ensures that users can properly view and manage forms within ClickTime.
