Forms in Valuecase help you collect structured input from your customers and team — whether it’s for onboarding, project intake, feedback, or compliance (e.g. KYC/AML). You can create flexible forms that support collaboration, allow multiple submissions, and integrate with your existing tools.

This article explains how to create a form, choose the right mode, customize questions, and manage submissions.


Adding a Form to Your Template / Space

  1. Open your template / space and click + Add block

  2. Select Form from the block picker

  3. Choose your submission type (see below)

  4. Click Create Block to add it to your space


Choosing the Right Form Type

When adding a form block, you’ll be asked to select how submissions are handled. If in doubt, stick to the default Collaborative Form - this is what 90%+ of our customers need.

Collaborative Form

  • One shared response per space (e.g., customer).

  • Everyone with access to the space can view, edit, and submit the form together

  • Common for onboarding, project briefs, and shared documentation

  • After submission, the form is locked. You can unlock it via the sidebar

Survey Form

  • Each space viewer can submit their own individual response

  • Only your internal team can view submissions

  • Ideal for feedback collection, surveys, or cases with multiple stakeholders

  • Editors can toggle whether new submissions are accepted


Creating & Customizing Questions

Question creation

Click + Add question either in the editor sidebar (A) or directly in the space/template preview (B) to choose from the following:

Question Type

Description

Short Text

Single-line input for names, emails, etc.

Long Text

Multi-line input for open responses

Checkboxes

Question Settings

Each question can be configured to:

  • Be required or optional

  • Accept only specific inputs (input validation - available for Short & Long Text Questions).

  • Show conditionally (based on answers to earlier questions - more details in this article)

  • Include a description (with formatting, links, lists, etc.)

  • Include images or videos for context
