Field Forms & Mobile Data Collection

Field data collection is a core capability of the MX+ mobile platform, enabling organizations to capture operational information directly from the field in real time. MX+ provides a flexible and powerful Field Forms framework that allows teams to design, deploy, and manage a wide range of data collection workflows—from simple reports to complex operational inspections.

Whether capturing asset inspections, safety observations, personnel reports, or operational updates, MX forms are designed to adapt to the real-world environments where field teams operate.

Flexible Form Creation

MX includes an intuitive Form Builder that allows end users to quickly create and deploy custom forms tailored to their operational needs.

  • End-user configurable form creation using the MX Form Builder

  • Rapid development of inspection forms, safety reports, operational logs, and field surveys

  • Support for simple forms as well as advanced forms with complex logic

  • Advanced workflow-enabled forms designed and supported by MX system specialists

Workflow-Integrated Forms

Forms can operate independently or as part of larger operational workflows within the MX platform.

Forms can be triggered in multiple ways, including:

  • Embedded within operational workflows

  • Manually selected by users in the field

  • Automatically triggered by asset scans

  • Initiated as part of a workflow start process

  • Dynamically triggered based on geographic location or operational context

This flexibility allows organizations to seamlessly integrate field data collection into their broader operational processes.

Offline-First Mobile Operation

Field teams often operate in areas with limited or no connectivity. MX+ forms are fully supported by the platform’s offline-first mobile infrastructure.

  • Complete forms even without network connectivity

  • Secure local storage and synchronization when connectivity is restored

  • Reliable data collection in remote, disaster, or infrastructure environments

Automated Workflow Integration

Data collected through field forms can drive automation across the MX platform.

Form submissions can:

  • Update asset status and inspection records

  • Update personnel or operational status

  • Generate operational reports and analytics

  • Automatically trigger follow-on workflows

For example, an asset inspection report identifying maintenance issues can automatically initiate the appropriate repair workflow.

Public & Anonymous Reporting

MX forms can also be used to collect information from individuals outside your organization.

Using anonymous user functionality, forms can be completed by subcontractors, partners, or members of the public.

  • Secure web-based form access without requiring a full MX user account

  • Forms distributed via email or workflow-generated links

  • QR code triggered forms attached to assets or infrastructure

  • Example use case: “Report an issue with this equipment” QR code on field assets

Rich Data Capture Capabilities

MX forms support a wide range of data types and advanced input options.

Supported data collection includes:

  • Photographs and video media

  • GPS location capture

  • Asset and personnel scanning

  • Structured data fields and conditional logic

  • Dynamic question flows based on user responses

This flexibility enables organizations to capture detailed operational information while maintaining a simple user experience for field teams.
