How to Configure Forms in a Pactvera
Forms allow you to collect structured information—such as personal details, business data, approvals, or supporting documents—directly within a Pactvera. This guide explains how to create a form, configure fields, and assign it to parties within a Pactvera.
Before You Begin
Before configuring a form, ensure:
- All parties have already been added to the Pactvera
- Each party represents either:
- An individual, or
- An organization
Forms do not create new parties. Instead, they assign actions to the parties already defined in the Pactvera.
Step 1 — Add a Form
Open your Pactvera and add a form:
- Click Add Form
- Choose to:
- Create a new form, or
- Select a saved form template
Templates are useful for repeatable workflows such as onboarding forms, attestations, or data collection processes.
Step 2 — Build the Form
Use the form builder to design the fields participants will complete.
- Drag and drop components from the left panel into the form canvas
- Arrange fields in the desired order
Common field types include:
- Text, email, or phone fields
- Number and date inputs
- Dropdowns and selection fields
- Checkboxes and radio buttons
- File upload fields
- Signature fields
Configure Field Settings
For each field:
- Set the label (what the user sees)
- Define whether the field is required
- Apply validation rules (e.g., format, limits)
These settings ensure the form collects accurate and complete information.
Step 3 — Add Logic (Optional)
You can configure fields to appear or hide based on user responses.
For example:
- Show additional fields only when a specific option is selected
This allows you to create dynamic forms that adjust based on input.
Recommendation: Use conditional logic only when needed. Keep initial forms simple for faster completion.
Step 4 — Save and Preview
Once your form is configured:
- Click Save Form
- Use Preview to review how it will appear to recipients
- Click Done to attach it to the Pactvera
Step 5 — Assign the Form to a Party
After adding the form, assign it to a party in the Pactvera.
- Select a party from the Pactvera party list
- Assign the action (typically form completion)
Each form is completed by one party.
If multiple parties need to complete the same form:
- Duplicate the form
- Assign each copy to a different party
How Party Assignment Works
The way the form is completed depends on the type of party:
- If the party is an organization
- The organization receives the request
- An authorized individual completes the form
- If the party is within your own organization
- You must select the appropriate authorized individual
- If the party is an individual
- That person completes the form directly
This ensures submissions are tied to the correct, authorized participant.
What Recipients Will Experience
When the Pactvera is sent:
- The assigned party receives an email with a link
- They open the Pactvera in the ChainIT ID App
- They complete and submit the form
Each participant only sees the form assigned to them.
Step 6 — Review Submissions
After the Pactvera is sent:
- Open the Pactvera from your Sent view
- Locate the form within the agreement
Once submitted, you can view:
- Who submitted the form
- What was submitted
- When it was completed
- Where the submission originated
This information is recorded as part of the Pactvera record.
Summary
Configuring forms in a Pactvera allows you to:
- Collect structured information from defined parties
- Assign form completion as part of an agreement workflow
- Ensure submissions are tied to verified individuals
- Maintain a clear and auditable record of responses
