# Use Visual Forms in work orders

Visual Forms work best when they are linked to the right job.

You can add them through a work type or directly on a work order.

### Two common ways to add a Visual Form

#### Through a work type

Use this when the same jobs always need the same Visual Form.

#### Directly on a work order

Use this when only some jobs need that form.

{% stepper %}
{% step %}

### Choose how you want to add the form

Decide whether the Visual Form should follow the work type or only one work order.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Open the work type or work order

Go to the place where you want to add the form.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Select the Visual Form

Choose the right form from the list.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Save and test

Save the change.

Then open a test work order to check the result.
{% endstep %}
{% endstepper %}

### Why this helps

* employees see the right document
* planners miss fewer forms
* the process stays more consistent

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://knowledge.out-smart.com/marketplace-packages-and-power-ups/power-ups/forms/use-visual-forms-in-work-orders.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
