What are Standard Online Forms?
TraceGains has Standard Online Forms that we recommend you utilize to assist in your request for data from your Suppliers. The content on the forms is continuously reviewed by the Customer Advisory Group (CAG) which consists of Customer members from different functional areas (Quality, Regulatory, Purchasing, etc.).
Why use Standard Online Forms?
Standard Online Forms save you time and resources. Instead of creating custom forms for every data request, use a peer-reviewed, ready-made, powerful form designed to mitigate risk based on ingredient and item-specific parameters.

Forms & Risk Groups
To switch between a full list of all the Standard Online Forms TraceGains currently offers. click the drop-down labeled 'Form'.
When viewing the Item Questionnaire, you’ll notice there's also Risk Group drop down. Items fall into a wide variety of Risk Groups and the questions can change depending on which group an item is in. For example, in the Egg Item Questionnaire, you'll see questions specific to egg products. By opening this form in another browser tab, you'll be able to compare the Egg Form questions with any other Risk Group (such as Dairy) to see how those questions differ.
Cascading Questions
Not all questions are immediately displayed in the Form. Many only appear based on how a "root" question is answered. To see ALL potential questions in the Form in one view, change the "Show Cascading Questions" drop-down from "False" to "True".
Attributes
In your Customer site, every data field is filled by an Attribute displaying its current data. You can get a list of all the Attributes the Online Form you're currently viewing contains by clicking the Attributes button. Be aware that the list can be very long.
Addenda
The Online Forms are comprehensive. However, if there are questions that we haven’t included that you would like your Suppliers to fill out, reach out to your Customer Success Manager. We can create an Addendum to any Online Form that your Supplier will be prompted to answer to fulfill your needs.
