# Forms

> Build custom forms, submit them, and manage submissions and submission requests.

Astalty Premium - This feature is part of the Astalty Premium plan. See What Premium includes.

Use [Forms](https://app.astalty.com.au/forms/submittable) to build custom online forms using a drag-and-drop editor, share them internally or externally, and collect the submissions in one place. Forms can have different usages - such as General, Participant Incident, or Staff Incident - and some options can't be changed after a form is created, so it's important to choose the right ones up front.

> **Forms vs Templates - which should I use?**
>
> Use a **Form** when you need to *capture or collect* structured information back from someone - for example an incident report, Participant check-in, intake questionnaire, or feedback survey. If instead you need to *produce a formatted document* pre-filled with a Participant's details to be signed, downloaded, or kept on record (like a Service Agreement or NDIS consent form), use a [**Template**](https://docs.astalty.com.au/guide/participants/templates) instead.

> **Looking for Incidents or Referrals?**
>
> [Incidents](https://docs.astalty.com.au/guide/incidents) and [Referrals](https://docs.astalty.com.au/guide/referrals) use Forms and have their own registers. If that's what you're setting up, start there instead.
