Existing form onboarding

Optional

GoSafety existing form onboarding is the process of bringing a company's current PDFs, safety forms, checklists, and diagram-based workflows into the product without asking the crew to start from scratch.

What it is

There are two main onboarding paths in the current product:

  • Upload a PDF template for exact PDF submission workflows.
  • Import a PDF into the checklist builder so the product creates a mobile form definition from it.

The public site also calls out optional paid onboarding for teams that want help bringing over their current forms.

Who uses it

  • Safety managers with existing owner, GC, insurance, or company forms.
  • Office admins who want to avoid manually rebuilding every document.

Step-by-step workflow

  1. Decide whether the target document should stay an exact PDF or become a checklist-style form.
  2. Upload the source PDF in the web app.
  3. Review the extracted fields or template schema.
  4. Adjust labels, types, and required fields as needed.
  5. Publish the final form or template for field use.

Data captured during onboarding

  • Original template file or PDF.
  • Extracted field schema.
  • Form item configuration.
  • Version and update metadata.
  • Optional diagram asset references.

Outputs and downstream effects

  • A reusable PDF template workflow.
  • A reusable checklist form workflow.
  • Faster field rollout because crews do not need to learn an entirely different document set.

Device and platform context

  • Onboarding is a web-admin workflow.
  • Field use happens later in the iOS app.

Practical construction examples

  • Converting a required owner inspection PDF into a mobile form.
  • Keeping an exact incident or injury PDF as a template that still outputs the same final document.
  • Uploading site diagrams so the checklist can include markable hazard fields.

Limitations and notes

  • AI-assisted scanned PDF import depends on Google Cloud and AI extraction being configured.
  • Fillable PDF import works without AI, but scanned or image-based PDFs rely on AI extraction.
  • The current public pricing page lists optional onboarding of existing forms as a one-time $300 fee.
