There are four folders on the Android ProntoForms app: Forms, Inbox, Drafts, and Outbox. The boxes seen may vary (and may appear in a different order) based on team settings. The first place you will encounter these boxes is on the ProntoForms Home Screen (in Android 6.8 and above). This article will discuss how to navigate ProntoForms for Android 6.8 and above. |
Side Navigation Bar
![]() |
The side navigation bar is available from any of the standard boxes in the app. To access it, tap the ![]() |
Forms Box
![]() |
The Forms box lists all forms available for the user to fill out. To open a form, simply tap on it. If there are multiple forms, swipe up and down to view all available forms. Where are my Forms?If there are no forms listed in the Forms box, it means no forms have been assigned. Forms must be assigned to users by a team administrator. Read here for the steps to follow if no forms/no new forms are appearing on your device. |
Inbox
![]() |
While forms that appear in the Forms box can be started by the user, forms that appear in the Inbox have been initiated (or Dispatched) by a ProntoForms team administrator. By default, forms in the Inbox are listed by "Form Name - Date and Time last edited".
Read more about how an administrator can change/customize this naming convention. About Dispatched forms:
Dispatch Notes This is a limited-release feature. Please contact your ProntoForms sales representative if you want to use this feature. Where applicable, dispatch notes appear beneath dispatches. These usually contain job-relevant information included when the home user sends out the dispatch to the mobile user. Sorting The inbox is sorted alphabetically. Dispatches in black italics are non-declinable dispatches, while dispatches in blue can be declined. If an edit is requested on a dispatch, it will be black, with a blue "Edit Requested." |
Declining a Dispatch
1. Navigate to the Inbox. | 2. Tap and hold the dispatch you wish to delete, then select the trash can icon to decline. | 3. Select "OK" when asked to confirm. |

Declined data records are visible in the Data tab of the ProntoForms administration portal. They are distinguished from completed data records by a red arrow icon.
Drafts Box
![]() |
The Drafts box lists all saved forms. These forms have been opened and partially filled out, but not submitted or discarded. Any form in the Drafts screen may be tapped to open it and continue editing. Any data in a draft will remain on the device, and will not appear on the ProntoForms server until the form has been submitted by the user. Once a form is submitted, it will disappear from the Drafts box. By default, forms in the Drafts box are listed by "Form Name - Date and Time last edited". Read more about how an administrator can change/customize this naming convention. Delete Drafts If a user no longer needs to keep their draft forms, they can delete them from their device.

Sent Box
![]() |
The Sent box holds forms that have been submitted and received by the Prontoforms web portal. Read here to learn more about the Sent box. The Sent box also contains the forms that have been queued for submission if the user is working in Offline mode. Forms will only be listed under the Outbox header if sending the form has failed, typically due to working in Offline mode. By default, forms in the Outbox header are listed by "Form Name - Date and Time Submitted". Read more about how an administrator can change/customize this naming convention.
