Field Reports in Action

Written by Workstaff Team | Apr 7, 2025 2:26:57 PM

A better way to know what’s really happening on-site

Let’s be honest — getting clear, timely feedback from staff after an event is tough. One person sends a text, another forgets completely, and suddenly you're chasing missing info through DMs and scattered emails.

That’s why we built Field Reports — a simple, flexible way to collect the details you need, without the follow-up headache.

 

So... what is a Field Report?

Think of it like a mini form your staff fill out right from their phone, during or after their shift. You create the questions (yes/no, text, photos, checkboxes — whatever you want), and they submit it directly through the app. No paper. No PDF. No chaos.

Use it for:

  • End-of-shift feedback (“Was anything missing on-site?”)
  • Incident logs (“Someone spilled coffee on the DJ booth… again”)
  • Equipment checks (“All signage returned? Yes / No ”)
  • Photos from the field (“Here’s how we set up the booth!”)

Everything is linked to the event, saved in one place, and instantly available to your team.

Why it works

Here’s what we’ve seen so far:

  • Agencies using Field Reports report 75% less time spent chasing post-shift info
  • Over 90% of staff complete reports when sent with their assignment
  • Teams love the clarity: “It helps us understand how the event really went — not just what got logged in the calendar.” Plus if you have our Client Portal you can send the reports directly to your clients.

Pro Tips from Power Users

  1. Keep it short & sweet. Aim for 3-5 key questions max. No one wants a homework assignment.
  2. Use emojis or friendly tone in your prompts. Sounds silly, but it boosts engagement.
    Example: “How many product samples did you hand out during your shift? 🎁”
  3. Add photo upload fields — clients love seeing proof of setup, signage, or happy guests.
  4. Use multiple templates for different roles. Supervisors, ambassadors, brand reps — they don’t all need the same questions. Tailor reports to match the role.

Fully Custom, Your Way

You can create as many report templates as you need — one for post-shift feedback, another for supervisors, even one just for check-ins. Customize them to fit your workflows. No code, no fuss.
