How to send a Form to a seafarer

When you’ve created your Form you need to add it to the relevant Recruitment Pipeline.

This is the same as the other stages you add to pipelines: Document Validation, English Test, Sea Service Check, Medical Check, Visa, Flights, and Approval.

Go to Settings > Pipelines. The Pipelines page looks like this:

Click the pen icon next to the Pipeline you want to add the Form to (see above) then click Add Stage.

You will see this pop up box:

The Form will now be included in that Recruitment or Assignment Pipeline for all seafarers to complete.

For more about setting stages in Pipelines, see this page

How to copy a Form

If you're conducting interviews or sending questionnaires with the same (or similar) questions, the Copy Form feature saves you time as you don't need to recreate the same/similar Form from scratch.

Click the documents icon next to the Form you want to copy:

That will open this pop-up box:

Enter the new Form's name, click Save and the new Form will appear on the main page.

Click on it and all of the questions from the original form will be in it. If you need to change anything, click the pen icon. If you want to delete a Form, click the trash can icon.

Note: You can also manually add a new Form by going to a seafarer's profile and clicking the Forms button at the top of the page and then Add Form.
