Tables are an important way to view, manage, and share your data in Forerunner. Whether you’re tracking objects, records, tasks, or files, tables provide powerful tools to organize and analyze your information.

Working with tables

Use tables to manage key workflows and gain insights from your data. Tables are flexible and can be customized to match your unique workflows, which means you and your team can easily:
  • Track properties in flood zones with outstanding inspections to quickly identify properties that need follow-up
  • Monitor inspection status and follow up on incomplete items to stay on top of pending work and close the loop
  • Find Elevation Certificates and permits by property or date to locate critical documents when you need them
  • Share filtered property data with residents through public views to promote transparency and keep your community informed
