Why structured intake
Email requests leave teams chasing dimensions, copy, artwork, placement, and approval. Structured intake surfaces them before work begins.
Branch questions for new design, resizing, printing, or installation.
Collect size, units, quantity, material, finishing, and placement as separate fields.
Collect event, artwork, proof, delivery, installation, and removal milestones.
One intake, different jobs
Reveal questions based on the requested service.
Capture purpose, audience, copy, action, assets, direction, and approver.
Capture final file, size, quantity, material, finishing, proof, cost, and delivery.
List the source file, output sizes, locations, orientations, and copy variations.
Collect site photos, mounting, hardware, access, contact, and removal date.
Banner workflow
Generate the intake, tailor its branches, publish, and route submissions.
Describe who requests work, which services you provide, and required specifications.
Add materials, sizes, lead times, cost codes, file rules, and conditional questions.
Notify design, print, or facilities based on the selected service.
Review dimensions, copy, artwork, location, dates, and approval before production.
Email vs ticket vs structured form
Compare how each method carries details across teams.

Practical answers for design, marketing, print-room, and facilities teams setting up a shared intake.
It is an internal intake for banner design, resizing, printing, delivery, or installation. It records ownership, copy, size, quantity, placement, files, approval, budget reference, and schedule.
Include requester, department, purpose, audience, copy, dimensions, units, orientation, use, quantity, location, services, artwork, approver, and key dates. Add material, finishing, hardware, access, and removal fields for physical production.
Branch from new design, resize, print-ready, or installation. Design needs audience, message, assets, and direction; print-ready work needs final files, dimensions, material, finishing, approval, and delivery.
