Integrated Field Mapping
Your FastField Form is directly integrated into the Report Builder. To map your form to a PDF document, simply upload your PDF file, then drag and drop your fields to the appropriate location on your report. Each field has unique settings to control the output and formatting of the data and requires no technical experience to layout your report.
Multiple Report Templates
Oftentimes, a form needs to be delivered to different audiences. Each audience may desire different formats of the final report. The FastField Report Builder supports the creation of one or more report templates per form. For example, this would allow you to have an Internal Report Template and a Customer Facing Report Template. Or perhaps, your use case requires a Manager's Report vs. a Technician's Report. While defining templates, you also have the option to select a default template which will be used when accessing reports in the Online Portal.
Live Preview
To streamline the testing of your report layout and mapping, FastField offers an integrated Live Preview mode which allows you to quickly view your draft report populated from a prior submission. This allows you to interactively test your design without having to submit new forms or exit the Report Builder. While in Preview mode, you can toggle between your submission data to test how the data populates or fills the report using real data.
Report Styling
Reports can be configured with different fonts and formatting styles. Each individual fields offer various styling options and common styles such as font color, size, and alignment can all be configured through style classes.
