Training your team on Kizeo Forms
Training splits into two tracks that need different sessions: field users who just need to fill out forms reliably on a phone or tablet, including working offline and understanding why a submission is still pending sync, and admins who build and edit templates, manage Dispatch routing, and troubleshoot when a report doesn't generate or an export doesn't land.
Who it's for
Field technicians and inspectors who need to be confident using the mobile app under real conditions — spotty signal, gloves on, mid-shift — and the admins responsible for keeping templates and integrations working.
Delivery approach
Field-user sessions run on the actual mobile app, including deliberately testing offline mode so people see for themselves that a submission saves locally and syncs later rather than getting lost. Admin sessions work in the template designer on a real, or copied, form, covering conditional logic, validation rules, and how a Dispatch rule actually routes a form.
Outcomes
- Field staff who trust that offline submissions aren't lost, because they've tested it themselves during training.
- Admins who can edit a conditional field or validation rule without breaking the rest of the template.
- A shared understanding of what a pending-sync status actually means, cutting down on false alarms.
- Admins comfortable setting up and adjusting Dispatch rules without our help.
- A short troubleshooting reference for the handful of issues that come up most — failed sync, missing report, wrong field showing.
We spend real time on the offline-and-sync behavior specifically, since that's what generates the most support tickets from field staff who assume a submission is lost when it's actually just queued.
What admin training actually covers
For the admin track specifically, we cover:
- Building and editing a form template, including field types, conditional logic, and calculated fields.
- Setting validation rules that catch bad entries without frustrating users with false rejections.
- Configuring the report template so a submission generates the right PDF, Word, or Excel layout.
- Setting up Dispatch rules to route forms to the right users or devices automatically.
- Managing user and device licenses, including deactivating former staff correctly.
- Reading submission and sync status to diagnose a stuck or failed submission.
- Setting up export destinations such as Drive, FTP, or webhook and verifying they're still working.
- Versioning a template change safely without breaking forms already in progress in the field.
- Basic troubleshooting steps before escalating to Kizeo support.
- Where to find Kizeo Forms' own documentation for features outside what we covered.
By the end, field staff use the app with confidence instead of working around it, and at least one admin on your team can make a template change or fix a routing rule without waiting on us.
