Frequently asked questions
You can schedule audits across all zones and assign them to specific users. The schedule view shows which zone is being audited on a given day and who is responsible. There are no zone or site limits in Lumiform. Pending and overdue forms are visible in one place, so you always know what has been completed, what is in progress, and what has been missed across all three shifts.
The analytics section lets you filter results by user, group, and entity. If you set up two groups aligned to two VPs, each VP sees their own sites without exporting data and pivoting it manually. You can track weekly scores per zone as a percentage, identify which sites are generating negative answers, and view trend data over time. The dashboard gives you that visibility without leaving the platform.
Yes, actions can be assigned to a group rather than a single individual. Every member of the group sees the action, but only one person needs to complete it. This removes the bottleneck of routing a task to one specific person who may be unavailable. Actions are created during or after an inspection and track status in real time, so the person who raised the issue can see when it has been resolved.
In the Forms section, you can duplicate any existing template and edit it independently. The original stays intact. You can also pull from Lumiform’s library of over 10,000 templates, open one, and modify it to match your specific zones, questions, or scoring criteria. This means you are not starting from scratch every time you need a variation of a 6S audit or Gemba Walk template.
Lumiform supports section-level scoring alongside an overall score calculated from all questions. For a 6S audit, you can have a score for Sort, a score for Safety, and so on, with an overall percentage shown at the end. You can assign weights to answer options and configure scoring per section. The analytics dashboard then displays those scores per zone and per week, giving you the percentage view you need after each audit cycle.
Yes, Lumiform supports conditional logic within templates. You can configure questions to appear or disappear based on a previous answer. For example, if a user selects a specific zone or area, only the relevant questions for that zone display. This keeps the form focused and reduces the time auditors spend navigating questions that do not apply to their current context during a Gemba Walk or 6S audit.
Within Lumiform, audit results, 5S scores, and actions all sit in one platform and feed into the same analytics dashboard. You can view outcomes from both in a single place without switching systems. Actions raised during a 5S check appear alongside those from audits. However, Lumiform does not automatically merge data fields between two separate form types. The shared analytics layer is where the connection happens, giving you one view across all inspection types.
Reports are downloadable. When a form is completed, a PDF report is generated and can be exported. You can also connect Lumiform to cloud storage like Google Drive, SharePoint, or OneDrive so reports are stored automatically after each submission. This directly addresses the situation where 70% of your current operations produce only an online version with no download option, forcing manual copy-pasting. With Lumiform, the report is available to download and share immediately after submission.
You can upload existing PDFs, spreadsheets, or photos directly into Lumiform to generate a template. The AI tool can assist in structuring the content so you are not rebuilding each checklist from scratch. For a 6S audit with a predefined six-answer response set, you configure it once and reuse it across all questions in bulk. The goal is to transfer your existing checklists as close to one-to-one as possible, without a manual re-entry process for every field.
Lumiform sends notifications when actions become overdue. A supervisor receives an alert at the point the deadline passes, not before. This removes the need for a manager to manually check whether someone has completed a task.
They see a home screen showing templates and tasks assigned to them. Pending forms due for completion appear in one section. Drafts they have started and paused are in another. Completed and submitted forms are accessible under Done. Actions assigned to them or created by them are visible with current status. The interface is designed to be as simple as possible. Workers see only what is relevant to them, not the full administrative view that managers and supervisors access on desktop.
