OpenForms
Most resident interactions with government happen at the local level. Whether requesting a pothole repair, starting a water service, or ordering a new trash bin, governments process thousands of resident requests every day. That’s why cities and counties trust OpenForms to effectively digitize request-related forms and workflows into easy-to-use online services.

Overview
With OpenForms, organizations can build online forms and digitize workflows to modernize outdated processes and rapidly respond to resident requests. Staff can translate complex business logic into simple “wayfinding” or digital tools to help residents ensure they are eligible for services. Plus, teams are empowered with tools for creating custom solutions without tech skills or time-consuming customizations.

Functionality
Government services can be complicated. But that doesn’t mean customers can’t have a positive experience. OpenForms helps convert complex, multi-page forms and processes into simple, step-by-step online forms that adjust based on responses.
No need to wait for a developer. Using a drag-and-drop interface, non-technical subject matter experts can create highly functional online forms and digital services within minutes.
Give your residents the ability to pay for a ticket, register a pet, reserve a venue, report a problem, and more – all with the device of their choice. OpenForms also helps staff become more efficient by digitizing internal checklists, paperwork, and processes.
Workspaces help staff organize forms into categories that reflect how unique organizations work, easily putting vital staff resources in one place.
Streamline post-submission processes by dynamically generating official records and other documents. Documents can be automatically sent to the people that need them most.
Once a resident submits a form, OpenForms helps organizations set up multiple process stages with automatic or decision-based transitions to manage response workflows.
Meet high resident expectations by putting user experience front and center. Digital services created in OpenForms work across all browsers and devices, and are updated automatically with the latest best practices, ADA/WCAG compliance standards, and modern design trends.
