Forms

Forms in Drutas provide a structured way to collect and manage information. Designed by workflow managers or administrators, these templates can incorporate smart chips and UI components for greater flexibility. Upon submission, each form automatically generates a task, with all responses captured in a consistent and reviewable format. This ensures standardized data collection and streamlined workflows across projects.
