# How do I create a form in the Operational Notes section?

In this video, you'll learn how to create a structured form in the Operational Notes section to standardise how your team captures additional job information.

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**:

1.  Choose the size of the table based on the number of rows and columns you need.
    
2.  Type in your **headers** to label each section.
    
3.  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.
