Employees Related Forms
The related forms for employees allow the addition of a set of data on a separate page as part of the employee’s profile. For example, you can add a form related to employee performance to record all their achievements, skills, and progress levels. This form can be added to specific employees without the need to add it to all employees. Here are the details for adding and using “Related Forms” in this article.
Adding a New Custom Form
The custom form consists of a section that includes basic information, such as the form’s name, who has access to it, and how it is handled. The second part relates to designing the form, where form fields are added, and their properties are controlled. To add a new custom form:
Click on “Settings” in the drop-down menu under “Employees” in the main menu and click on the “Related Forms” tab.
Click on the “Add Custom Form” button.

And many other types of data.
All you need to do is drag and drop the field type you want into the center, then write the field title, adjust its settings, control its properties, and finally, click on the “Save” button.
