Add a Step to Ask User Input

Ask User Input steps enable you to send forms (questionnaires) to users, both internal and external, to receive information from individuals or groups of users, which can be used in processing an incident or progressing with your case management. The collected data can be used for incident analysis. You can also automate actions in response to the information.

User Form Permissions

A message User does not have list permission for User Form will be shown only if the User does not have at least the list permission to use the existing User Forms under the Select Form drop-down.

Request admin or see Groups Permission on how to assign applicable permission (List or Create) to use or create the User Form.
