# How to create an incident report form

You can build an incident report form that asks when and where something happened, what happened, and for photos. You can add a follow-up that only shows when someone was hurt, and a signature to sign it off.

Makeform doesn't have an incident report template, so you start with the AI builder.

## Describe the form

1. Click **Create Form** in the sidebar.
2. In **What do you want to make?**, say who fills it in and what you need them to report.
3. Read the draft, then fix what you need on the canvas.

## Check the questions

Your form should have these:

- A **Date** question and a **Time** question for when it happened.
- A **Short text** question for the place.
- A **Long text** question for what happened.
- A **File upload** question for photos.

Don't use the **Location** question for the place. It records the respondent's country from their IP address. It doesn't record a GPS position or the name of your site.

## Add a follow-up for injuries

1. Add a **Single choice** question, such as "Was anyone injured?", with **Yes** and **No**.
2. Add a **Long text** question after it for the details.
3. Select that second question and turn on **Conditional visibility**.
4. Choose **Show**, then set the rule so your Yes/No question **equals** "Yes".

Hang the follow-up on a Single choice question. A Grid answer can't trigger one.

For more on this rule, see [Show or hide a question](/help/guides/show-or-hide-a-question).

## Add a signature

Add a **Signature** question at the end. Your respondent draws in a box, and the image is saved with their report.

## File limits

On Free, a file can be up to 20 MB, and so can all the files in one report together. An upload question takes 1 to 10 files.
