Title Change: Architectural Requests to Forms/Store
J
Jeff Jaglowicz
The title “Architectural Requests” doesn't match the broad range of form use cases available to this section and creates confusion for owners if the Association increases the use of this section. I want to use this section to serve a broader set of use cases (as a storefront, forms to join committees, etc). A simple name change will make a world of difference for folks navigating this section.

We went from "Property Improvement Application" form so it was a little confusing. Our biggest use case for all the forms is Roofing material and Painting requests. Other groups request temporary signs for events which is not Architectural, but we want the workflow and approval process. We would be open to User defined Request types that would be the header name to homeowners to better direct them.

I would think leave Architectural Requests as it is and add a "Forms" folder to the Document Repository.

I agree with Dennis.

Dennis McDonald the flow of Architectural Requests feels off. Why would I click more once to get to an architectural form? Isn't it more logical to go to a forms section where you have a variety of forms available? Committee applications, first right of refusal, requests for information just to name a few.

Jeff Jaglowicz perhaps your owner login experience with the Architectural Request form is different from what we are doing at our Association. We have edited the form to make it even easier for an owner to use. We have a very limited need for the form in the first place and the changes you are speaking of would, in my opinion, make it more confusing for our owners many of whom are 80+ years old.

Dennis McDonald mind sharing what you’ve done? It sounds like you gave them a direct link to the form which should still be possible whether the form is in the parent or child. We too have many older demographic folks and want to make things as easy as possible for them.
