Who this template is for
Behavior Observation Form is built for small teams who need a reliable intake process who need to collect the same complete information from everyone.
- Small teams who need a reliable intake process working in daycare forms.
- Teams who need to collect the same complete information from everyone without writing code or paying for a custom build.
- Anyone replacing chasing missing details over email with one structured record per enquiry.
- Respondents are the people you send it to — the form asks them 17 questions across 2 screens.
Why this form is useful
It removes the cost of chasing missing details over email and turns each submission into a record your team can act on immediately.
- 11 questions are required, so submissions arrive complete instead of needing a follow-up email.
- It pins the request to a specific date.
- It allows multiple selections without free text.
- Conditional logic hides 2 questions until they are relevant — shorter forms convert better than long ones.
- Splitting the form across 2 pages keeps each screen short and shows respondents how much is left.
- Every response is stored, searchable and exportable, so nothing depends on one person's inbox.

Logic and conditions blueprint
Exactly how this form behaves as it is answered — 2 conditional rules ship with it.
- Features advanced show logic: if “Was another child affected?” is Yes, the form dynamically exposes “What happened, without naming the other child”. Otherwise that question never appears.
- Features advanced show logic: if “Should we arrange a conversation with the family?” is Yes, the form dynamically exposes “What would you like to discuss?”. Otherwise that question never appears.
- All 2 rules are editable in the Logic tab, and the built-in checker warns about rules that contradict each other.
