Getting started

Signing in

Open the Skeyeform URL your administrator gave you and sign in with your email and password. If self-registration is enabled you can create an account from the Register link; otherwise an administrator creates it for you.

Skeyeform also supports two-factor authentication — see Settings.

Teams

Everything in Skeyeform belongs to a team: forms, projects, ER diagrams, and the data collected. The team you're working in appears in the URL, and switching teams switches your whole workspace.

Every user gets a personal team when their account is created, and you can belong to as many teams as you're invited to.

Adding people

From your team settings you can:

  • Search and add members who already have a Skeyeform account
  • Invite people by email — they receive an invitation link to accept
  • Change a member's role, or remove them

Roles and permissions

Skeyeform uses four roles, in descending order of power. Each role is a bundle of granular permissions, so what a person sees in the sidebar matches what they're allowed to do.

RoleWhat they can do
OwnerEverything, including deleting the team and removing or changing members
AdminUpdate the team, add members and manage invitations, and everything a Modeler can do
ModelerManage, configure, design and assign forms; manage diagrams and projects; view data
UserView data only

Behind the roles sit individual permissions such as form:manage, form:design, form:configure, form:assign, diagram:manage, project:manage, data:view, and the team and membership permissions. You don't set these one by one — choosing a role grants the right set.

Form assignments narrow it further

Being able to view data isn't the same as seeing every form. Assigning users to a form controls who sees it in the Data, Spreadsheet, and Excel sections — see Assignments.

The dashboard

Signing in lands you on the team dashboard, which gives you:

  • KPI cards summarising your team's activity at a glance
  • Quick actions, shown according to your role
  • Paginated tables for team members, submissions by form, and recent submissions
  • An Activity tab (Admin and above) — the audit log of who did what; see Administration
