Create a simple activity form in Cadulis


Collect the Right Field Data with a Custom Form

Each field activity requires a tailored form to capture the right data.
In Cadulis, you can create a custom form for each activity type, defining the fields to be filled: contact details, equipment, on-site contact, etc.

This guide walks you through step by step how to build a simple form.


🧭 Steps to Follow

1. Access the Form Module

  • Left sidebar menu → Catalogue
  • Select the desired Business Unit (top left)
  • Click on an existing activity type or create a new one

➡️ You will land on the Activity Type Information page

2. Access the Activity Form

  • Click the Activity Form button (top right, under “Forms”)
  • You are redirected to a page listing the form fields (empty by default)
  • Two buttons are displayed:
    • Add a Field
    • Test (preview in real conditions)

➕ Add a Field

  1. Click on Add a Field
  2. On the Add a Field page:
    • Choose a field type:
      • Short text, Date, Signature, Photo, etc.
    • An example is displayed automatically
  3. Define a unique code (e.g. numero_client)
    • Used in exports, reports, display conditions
    • Expected format: lowercase, no accents, no spaces
  4. Click Add a Field

⚙️ Configure the Field

Once the field is added:

  • Page: Edit a Field
  • Available settings:
    • Order: position in the form
    • Display: size, layout, visual preview
    • Description: custom label for the user
    • Specific options depending on the type: required, default value, etc.
    • Display conditions (optional)

To delete the field: enable the Delete switch
