The Forms menu has three types. Intake and feedback are questionnaires: same structure, same builder, what changes is the role. Lab work is something else — it’s a request, which is why it has no builder and no questions.

​
The difference in one sentence

The intake form authorizes you to prescribe. The feedback keeps track. The lab request asks for a document.

​
Why feedback doesn’t lock the workout

Because it doesn’t need to. The intake form is what gives you the basis to prescribe safely — without it, delivering a workout is guesswork. Feedback is follow-up: holding back the workout of someone who pays on time because a monthly check-in went unanswered would be out of proportion.
Even the intake form only locks the workout when it comes from a rule. Sent by hand, it’s a request, not a requirement.

​
The priority rule

This is the point that saves you from the most common mistake when you use intakes and feedback together. Say you set the intake form to repeat every 3 months and the feedback every month. In the third month, both land together. The athlete only gets the intake form.
1

Month 1 and 2

They get the feedback, as usual.
2

Month 3

The intake form comes in. That month’s feedback gives up its turn — the intake form already asks everything it would ask, and in more depth.
3

Month 4

The feedback is back, on its usual rhythm. Its cycle isn’t pushed back or thrown off.
On the athlete’s profile, that send shows as “Not sent — the intake form of the month took priority”, so you don’t think they ignored the form. And the feedback cycle isn’t pushed back: it returns next month, on its usual date.
The window is the month, not the day. An intake form on the 1st and a feedback on the 15th are in the same month, so the feedback gives up its turn — getting two questionnaires in the same fortnight is exactly the pile-up this rule exists to prevent.It’s a calendar month: an intake form on 28 March and a feedback on 2 April are different months, and both go out.
Lab work stays out of this. It isn’t a questionnaire: asking for blood tests doesn’t compete with asking how the month went, so an intake and a lab request in the same month both go out.

​
Choosing the type

The type is set when you create it and doesn’t change afterwards: the tab you’re on decides. On the Intake forms tab the button creates an intake form; on Feedbacks, a feedback; on Lab work, a request.
You can’t turn an intake form into a feedback later. The type decides which one locks the workout and which one wins the month — changing that midway, on a form that is already used by rules and holds answers, would change the behavior without anyone noticing. If you got it wrong, duplicate it and rebuild it under the right type.

​
Where each one shows up

The three types stay separate everywhere:
  • In the Forms menu, each on its own tab.
  • On the athlete’s profile, in their own sub-tabs inside Assessments.
  • Under Answers, with a button to switch between them.
