Glossary

This section defines or clarifies the meaning of the terms we use across Shine Forms — the desktop app, the tablet apps and your online account.

Forms

Note

The term form means any document that Shine Forms produces. So, a form can be a certificate or a report.

Shine Forms mainly focuses on creating electrical certificates and reports. But, for a long time, we’ve used the term certificate to refer to any document that Shine Forms produces, often abbreviating that to cert. Almost always, we mean certificates or reports.

However, certificates or reports is more long-winded and cumbersome. So, we’re trying to standardise on the term form and use that to refer to any of the documents that Shine Forms produces. So, when we use the term form, we could mean a certificate, a report, or any other type of document such as a circuit chart.
