[Data Forms](https://support.torsh.co/coaches-mentees?hsLang=en#data-forms) # How to complete a Data Form A **Data Form** is a form used to capture any strategies, tactics, or coaching-related data within your system. For example, you may describe what happened in a coaching session in a free-flowing question, or you may have a list of questions wherein you “check” what was completed with notes where applicable. Data forms can even be used as rubrics for an observation and/or self assessment! Depending on your need, these forms can be a great space to create a shared agenda or even a note-taking space for coaching sessions.  With this information, Admins and Coaches can then use the data gathered from completed Data Forms for a variety of quantitative data collection to evaluate the coaching process over time.    ### **Initiating a Data Form from the New Menu** From any page in Talent, you can start a Data Form by hovering over the **'+New button'** in the top, right-hand corner. Next, click 'New Data Form' to begin.   ![](https://support.torsh.co/hs-fs/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base%20Import/14801945582867-2.png?width=343&height=282&name=14801945582867-2.png)     ### **Initiating a Data Forms from Coaching Corner** Head over to **Coaching Corner** and click on the **‘Data Forms’** tab.

You must choose this option in order to be able to Publish your completed form.   ![](https://support.torsh.co/hs-fs/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base%20Import/15676050263571-2.gif?width=670&height=340&name=15676050263571-2.gif)   If you choose a Group, a new section will display with all members of that group. Feel free to check off any members who do not apply to your Data Form. Follow the instructions of each section of the Data Form. Some areas may require a text answer, some a numeric answer, while others may have you select multiple choice or a selection from a dropdown. You may even be asked to attach an item from your account or input data into a table or grid. Once you have filled out your Data Form, click **‘Publish’** to save your changes. ![](https://support.torsh.co/hs-fs/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base%20Import/14804805208211-2.png?width=666&height=319&name=14804805208211-2.png)   Then, select **‘Publish Data Form.’** ![](https://support.torsh.co/hs-fs/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base%20Import/26779279773331-2.png?width=594&height=140&name=26779279773331-2.png) When you publish your Data Form, other coaches and admins will be able to see it, depending on your System Settings.
