If you need to capture additional information as part of a job in Dronedesk, the Operational Notes section is ideal for that purpose.
Creating a form in this section is straightforward. Start by inserting a table:
Choose the size of the table based on the number of rows and columns you need.
Type in your headers to label each section.
Format the table to suit your layout. For example, if you need a larger notes area, you can merge cells by right-clicking, selecting Cells, then Merge Cells.
You can also delete rows, add new ones, and adjust the layout in much the same way you would in a standard word processor or spreadsheet tool.
To format the table:
Right-click and select Table Properties
Set the border width and choose a border colour, such as black
To colour individual cells, go to Cell Properties, then the Advanced tab, and choose a background colour like light grey
This gives you a clean, structured layout for capturing additional data.
Once the Operational Notes section is enabled in your Job Sections configuration, the form you’ve created will appear in all new jobs. Your pilots can then complete the form as part of the job workflow.
