Forms

What is Forms?

Forms is Timer's built-in form builder for collecting data from visitors, clients, and team members. Create contact forms, feedback surveys, event registrations, and more - then publish them with a shareable link. Every response flows back into Timer where you can review, filter, and act on submissions. Forms can also be linked to Projects so responses appear in the right context automatically.

Key Features

Creating a Form

1. 1

   Open the New Form Drawer

   Click the "New" button in the dynamic island or the "Create Form" button on the empty state screen. The New Form drawer slides open from the right.

2. 2

   Enter Basic Information

   Give your form a name (required) and an optional description explaining what the form is for.

3. 3

   Link to a Project (Optional)

   Select a project from the dropdown to connect the form. Responses will automatically appear within that project's context.

4. 4

   Choose a Template

   Select Blank Form to start from scratch, or pick one of the pre-built templates: Contact (5 fields), Feedback (4 fields), Survey (6 fields), or start from the full Templates drawer for more options.

5. 5

   Create & Build

   Click "Create & Build" to save the form and open the Form Builder where you can add, arrange, and configure your form fields.

Templates

The Templates drawer gives you quick access to pre-built form templates organized by category. Click the "Templates" button in the hero section to browse them.

• Contact Form: Collect inquiries from visitors with name, email, phone, and message fields (5 fields).
• Feedback Form: Gather feedback with star ratings and open-ended questions (4 fields).
• Quick Survey: Multi-question survey with various question types for comprehensive data collection (6 fields).
• Event Registration: Capture registrations with name, email, company, and custom fields (7 fields).

Filter templates by category using the tabs at the top of the drawer: All, Contact, Feedback, Survey, or Registration. Click "Use Template" on any card to start creating a form with that template pre-selected.

Dashboard & Stats

The Forms dashboard gives you an at-a-glance overview of your form activity through four stat cards:

• Total Forms: The total number of forms you have created.
• Responses: The total number of submissions received across all forms.
• Completion Rate: The average percentage of visitors who complete and submit your forms.
• Unread: The number of new responses you have not yet reviewed.

These stats update in real time as new responses come in and as you review submissions.

Status Pipeline

Forms are organized by status using the pipeline tabs below the stats cards:

• All: Shows every form regardless of status.
• Published: Forms that are live and accepting responses. Clicking a published form takes you to the Responses view.
• Draft: Forms still being built or edited. Clicking a draft form opens the Form Builder.
• Closed: Forms that are no longer accepting responses. Clicking a closed form opens the Form Builder for editing.

Each tab shows a count badge so you can see how many forms are in each status at a glance.

Views & Sorting

Switch between two display modes using the view toggle in the dynamic island:

• Grid View: Visual cards showing the form icon, name, description, status badge, linked project, response count, and unread count. Each card is color-coded by the form's theme color.
• List View: A compact table with columns for Form, Status, Responses, Completion rate, and Created date. Ideal for scanning many forms quickly.

Sort your forms using the sort dropdown in the dynamic island:

• Newest: Most recently created forms first.
• Oldest: Earliest created forms first.
• Name: Alphabetical order by form name.
• Responses: Forms with the most responses first.

Your preferred view is saved to local storage and remembered across sessions.

Search

Use the search bar in the hero section to find forms by name. Search is debounced for smooth performance - results update automatically as you type. Click the clear button (X) or press Escape to reset the search and show all forms again.

Search works together with status filters. For example, you can search for a form name while viewing only Published forms.

Form Actions

Right-click or click the three-dot menu on any form card to access the context menu with these actions:

• Edit Form - Open the Form Builder to modify fields and settings
• View Responses - See all submissions for the form
• Copy Link - Copy the form's shareable URL to your clipboard
• Duplicate - Create a copy of the form with all its fields and settings
• Publish / Unpublish - Toggle whether the form is live and accepting responses
• Delete - Permanently remove the form and all its responses (requires confirmation)

Pagination

When you have more than 12 forms, pagination controls appear at the bottom of the page. Use the Previous and Next buttons to navigate between pages. The current page number and total page count are displayed between the buttons.
