Just in Time: Introducing Timestamps

At Formitize, we’re always looking for ways to make your business processes clearer, more transparent, and easier to manage. That’s why we’re excited to share our brand new upcoming Timestamp feature, soon to be made available across all your forms.

If you’ve ever needed a simple, reliable way to record exactly when something happened, Timestamps is set to make your life easier.

What Are Timestamps?

Put simply, a Timestamp is an automatic date and time record.

Any time you or your team complete an action (like capturing a signature, ticking a checkbox, or entering specific data) Formitize will record the exact date and time that action took place.

It’s like having a digital witness, proving when something was done without any extra effort.

Why You’ll Love Using Timestamps

Here are just a few of the ways Timestamps will help your business:

• More Accountability & Transparency
  Need to show exactly when a client approved a quote, a technician completed a safety check, or a team member signed off a report? Timestamps remove any doubt, creating a clear record that everyone can trust.

• Better Compliance & Record-Keeping
  Many industries require proof of timing for audits, safety compliance, and legal reasons. With Timestamps automatically embedded in your forms, you’ll have instant evidence at your fingertips—no need to chase paper trails or guesswork.

• Stronger Customer Confidence
  When your clients see detailed records with accurate Timestamps, they know you’re serious about precision, professionalism, and accountability. It’s a small detail that builds big trust.

• Faster Processes, Less Admin
  Instead of manually recording times or relying on memory, Timestamps do the work for you automatically. That means less admin, fewer errors, and more time to focus on your business.

How It Works

Using Timestamps is easy:

1. In the Form Builder, simply tick the “Enable Timestamp” option when adding fields like:

   • Signature

   • Checkbox

   • Free Text

2. Once enabled, any time that field is completed, Formitize will automatically capture the date and time.

3. The Timestamp will be visible both in the web portal and on your PDF reports.

It’s that simple, no complicated setup or extra software needed.
