Designed to simplify and speed up the process, this feature gives you a single place to gather and submit all the details needed to process requests.

No more manual back-and-forth or missed steps. With Concord’s intake forms, your team gains a clear, actionable way to manage requests — saving time and keeping everything on track.

The intake form feature lets you capture all the relevant details for any document request using a simple, user-friendly interface. Whether you’re submitting a document for approval, assigning a task, or tracking a deadline, the intake form makes sure every detail is captured in one go.

This isn’t just for admins. Anyone on your team who needs to submit or manage requests can use intake forms. From HR onboarding to procurement approvals, it’s designed to be intuitive for everyone — no technical training required. Simply navigate to the intake form, fill in the details, and submit your request. It’s that easy.

Whether you’re a seasoned Concord user or just getting started, this feature integrates seamlessly into your workflow, making request management a breeze.

Step-by-step: How to use Concord’s intake forms

Getting started with intake forms is straightforward. Here’s how to make it part of your daily workflow:

  1. Access the intake form
    Navigate to the New Document section and select New intake request from the advanced menu. If you’re already in the intake form view, simply click the Create intake request button.
  2. Fill in the details
    Add the title (required) and other optional details like description and due date. The more specific you are, the easier it will be for your team to process the request efficiently.
  3. Submit or cancel the request
    Once you’re satisfied with the information, hit Submit. If you’re missing the required title field, a quick prompt will remind you to fill it in before proceeding. Need to step away? Simply click Cancel to save time without losing your work.
  4. Track and manage your request
    After submitting, use Concord’s dashboard to follow the progress. You can check the status, make updates, or collaborate with team members—all from one centralized location.

By keeping the process simple and intuitive, Concord’s intake forms help reduce friction in day-to-day operations, letting you focus on more immediate priorities.
