Dynamic Forms

10min

Overview

Rootly's dynamic forms allow for more granularity based on different incident types, different teams, or different severities that require different versions of the same forms. You can access the dynamic forms by navigating to Configurations > Forms & Fields.

The Dynamic Forms feature is not enabled out-of-box, but if you’d like to try it out, reach out to your Rootly point of contact or support team. Video Example of Use Case

Incident Property Field

The incident property is what is used to base the dynamic forms from. The options include Incident Type, Team, or Severity. This field is important as it drives the property in which you build your dynamic forms from

Once incident property is selected, click + New Form Set to create dynamic form.

Example Use Case

One of the main use cases for this is when you want to give more granularity on different teams, incident types or severities but you want them to have different versions of the same form. For example, when the information I want to collect for the security teamsincidents is different than the information I want to collect for the infrastructure teams incidents. But within that, within the security teams forms, I actually want certain fields different based on if it’s a SEV0 incident.

Click 'Create Form Set'

Once created, you'll see the newly built 'Security Team Forms' on the left and the form types you wish to customize. These new forms will only show when Team is Security

Next, we need to get more granular and only show these forms when the Team is Security AND the Severity is a SEV0. To do this, click 'Configure' on the form type you would like to edit.

The form will start empty minus your incident property field, which in this case is Teams.
