Who this template is for

Allergy & Dietary Restrictions 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 16 questions across 3 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 accepts a document or photo upload as evidence.
  • It records a signature you can keep as proof of agreement.
  • 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 3 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 “Does your child carry emergency medication?” is Yes, the form dynamically exposes “Which medication, and where will it be kept?”. Otherwise that question never appears.
  • Features conditional validation: if “How severe is the most serious reaction?” is Anaphylaxis, “Upload the allergy action plan” becomes mandatory before the form can be sent.
  • All 2 rules are editable in the Logic tab, and the built-in checker warns about rules that contradict each other.

About this template

An allergy note that says only "nuts" is not enough for a kitchen or a room leader. This form separates true allergies from intolerances and preferences, asks what a reaction actually looks like, records the severity and the emergency medication and where it is stored, and lets a family attach the action plan their allergist wrote.

Every question is editable — rename it, make it optional, or delete it entirely.
