Already using GoCanvas? What its record leaves open
Limitations the GoCanvas profile records:
- Published dollar display does not explicitly resolve contract currency
- Multi-user workflows and API access are outside Essentials
- Custom integration services are add-ons
Available only under stated conditions or not documented (checked 14 October 2026): Offline credential window; Multi-user handoffs; API and custom integration; Reports and live-data scope; Configured reviewer permissions; No-login external form intake. Check each against the contract you hold.
GoCanvas evaluation checks, for every candidate
- Offline credential window: The help article gives a default validation window that the Client Timeout Window setting can extend. Ask who sets it and what happens on a device when it lapses mid-shift. Test a prepared device left disconnected past your intended shift length, then record whether forms can still be opened and completed. Source
- What a sync transfers: Sync is documented as uploading completed submissions and receiving forms, reference data and dispatch or workflow assignments. Check a device before leaving coverage, publish a form change, and confirm which version the inspector holds. Retain the sync timestamp and the submission as received in the office. Source
- Dispatch and pre-filled jobs: Dispatch lets authorised users assign an enabled form, pre-fill fields and send or schedule it. The notification route depends on the assignee's last-used client, so test with the actual phone or tablet and a user who has switched devices. Record how long delivery takes and what the inspector sees. Source
- Workflow handoff and rejection: Recipients must be assigned to the published form, and workflow settings govern editing earlier answers and rejecting a handoff. Run a supervisor review with one approval and one rejection, including a disconnected reviewer, and note what happens to the entries made in the rejected step. Keep the before and after submission versions. Source
- Builder conditions under test: Conditions can reveal or skip fields and whole screens, and exact-match conditions are documented as case-sensitive. Build your real branching logic and try typed-text answers with different capitalisation as well as checkbox and numeric ones. Retain the test matrix with the published form version. Source
- Public Forms and package scope: Public Forms can collect submissions without a login but need enablement by the account representative, appear as Web forms under Max on the packages page, and lack full mobile-form parity or Reference Data. Decide whether any external intake is needed and, if so, test the exact field types you require. Also list the package for API, multi-user workflow, live data sources and any custom integration add-on, and confirm the stated user minimum. Source
Leaving GoCanvas: what to plan for
- List every form that is also reachable through a no-login link before leaving. Public Forms are enabled by the account representative, lack full mobile-form parity and cannot use Reference Data, so a replacement has to be tried with the exact field types those external submitters use, not with the internal inspection form.
- Write down how jobs reach inspectors today. A dispatched form can carry pre-filled fields and be sent at once or on a schedule, and the notification route follows the assignee's last-used client, so the inventory should name each person's device as well as each form. A replacement then gets the same job, handset and hand-off to prove.
- Treat integration and exit as one question. The record's own demonstration of back-office transfer ends with duplicate prevention, failed-transfer recovery and export at contract exit, and it separates an API entitlement from a finished customer interface. If a custom add-on built the link, ask who holds its field mapping before notice is given.
Who may have reason to stay with GoCanvas
- A team whose forms branch on earlier answers has logic that was tested inside the builder: conditions can reveal or skip fields and screens, and exact (Equal and Not Equal) matches on typed text are documented as case-sensitive. Rebuilding means repeating that capitalisation testing in the candidate, which is a cost to set against the reason for leaving.
- A security owner who has already approved the offline credential setting has done the review the record asks for before long disconnected shifts. The default validation window is 24 hours and the help article cites a 30-day setting, so the approved value is configuration a replacement would have to match or justify again.
- If the pressure to leave is budget uncertainty, separate what the record settles from what it leaves open. The packages page states a three-user minimum with annual billing, while the dollar currency and the add-on prices stay unconfirmed. Comparing with a candidate is easier against a written quote from this vendor that fixes currency, seats and services.
What to test in a trial of a replacement for GoCanvas
- Send a pre-filled job to an inspector who has recently changed phones, then record how long delivery takes and what appears on the screen. The record makes the actual handset the thing under test, because the notification route depends on the last client the assignee used.
- While one test device is disconnected, change a reference value and an assignment on the office side, then reconnect and see which values the next submission carries. The record's scenario checks that updates arrive before new work is submitted, a sequence a candidate can repeat with timestamps kept.
- Reject a test submission after data has been entered and compare what remains afterwards. The official instructions summarised in the record say the rejecting user's own entries are deleted, so decide first which version of the evidence you need, then correct, resubmit and check the final record names the right submitter.
