Managing Community Use of School Facilities with Form Workflow Plus

No comments

Schools are hubs for community development. Besides providing educational services, school facilities and premises become venues for team sports, local competitions, or even fairs. This is why certain school districts allow communities to rent out school facilities. This provides an extra source of income for the school and promotes camaraderie among community groups.

Consider Sam. He is the Facilities Coordinator for a K-12 school. Their campus is also a popular venue for soccer practice, baseball tournaments, and the host for the annual organic farm fair. He also manages the schedule for pool use by the local swim team.

He started out by managing requests via email. However, given the number of facilities, queuing groups, and different schedules, he soon realized he needed a better tool. Sam came across Form Workflow Plus in the G Suite Marketplace and his job has since become a lot easier.

Here are some of the ways a workflow app such as Form Workflow Plus helped Sam manage the community use of school facilities:

Easy setup with multi-step workflows and multiple reviewers

Since their school already uses G Suite, setting up the workflow took a few minutes. Form Workflow Plus can easily accommodate multi-step workflows and once he specified the reviewer email addresses, he had a working approval process. He got to try the add-on for a free 14-day trial as well.

Track schedules via Google Sheet

Sam moved away from receiving email requests and moved on to Google Forms. Responses are automatically collected on a sheet where he runs Form Workflow Plus. The add-on has a user-friendly interface for tracking request status. The best part is that Sam never lost sight of any request!

Automatic routing of requests based on facility type

Form Workflow Plus accommodates conditional approvals. Requests are routed to the appropriate department depending on the facility being rented out. This saved Sam a lot of manual and repetitive work as the add-on did this for him.

To learn more about setting conditional approvals, here’s a handy guide:

A multi-purpose web app for managing workflows, billing, and users

Form Workflow Plus includes a web app. It’s a one-stop shop for managing workflows, upgrading plans, as well as managing users.

Reviewers can also log in to work on pending requests. They have a dedicated view where they can set decisions all in one place.

Curated Help Center

For FAQs and guides on setting up workflows for tough use cases, Sam found the Form Workflow Plus Help Center as a valuable resource. He found video tutorials to walk him through the basic and advanced features of the add-on.

Inquiries can be forwarded to support@wizy.io for anything not covered by the Help Center. A quick demo can also be requested via this link:
