# Visual forms

Complete PDF-based Visual Forms on a work order in Android OutSmart NEXT.

## Visual forms

A Visual Form places fields on your company’s PDF layout.

Use it for inspections, service reports, and other fixed-format documents.

### What you can do

* Enter text, dates, choices, drawings, and signatures.
* Add photos, scan barcodes, and capture locations.
* Link an object or equipment item and rename the form.
* Validate required fields and preview the finished PDF.

### Complete form fields

Tap text fields to type. Tap date and time fields to choose a value.

Checkboxes allow several selections. Radio groups allow one. Cross-out fields mark choices.

Photo fields let you take a photo or select one from your gallery. You can draw, share, or delete the photo afterward.

Some fields fill automatically from the work order or linked object. Reset them from the menu when needed.

Use page arrows to move through multi-page forms.

## 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/mobile-app/android-outsmart-next/module-overviews/work-order/forms/visual-forms.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.
