When the React library was introduced into the community some years back, it was accepted and soon gained lots of popularity as the choice for building out user interfaces in a composable way. The major idea was that each UI interface can be split into multiple different small components and at the end of the day, these components can be combined or composed to form the whole larger UI as intended.

class App extends React.Component { 
render() { 
return ( 
      <ColorContext.Provider value="white"> 
      <SampleComponent /> 
      </ColorContext.Provider> 
    ); 
  } 
} 

As a background to what we are trying to present, if we were building multiple UI components for example, we indeed have a component tree which includes the parent component, which becomes the source of truth for our data, and due to the interrelation dependence on the parent components and those underneath it known as the children or descendant descendant descendant descendant descendant component to share data, it comes a point where this becomes an issue.

As we stated earlier, for small to medium apps, sharing data across many different components could be easy, since all we need to do is pass this data or props across or down from the parent to every child that needs it. Now this is fine. What if we have a hugely nested or a large component tree and we intend to pass the data or prop down this tree?

React context, a core React API provides an easier interface for developers to share data or pass props down multiple levels deep in our React applications. From the React docs, with react context, we can easily pass data down to the very component that needs it at any level in the component tree, without having to explicitly pass this data down each component level in the tree. This is all there is to React context.

To drive this definition further for more clarity, say you have a particular theme color set at the parent component level of the app, and you only intend to pass it down to the thirtieth component down the tree, without having to pass it down every level until you get to that thirtieth level, but just pass it down to only the thirtiet

What is the Elevated Signals Form Builder?

The form builder is your all-in-one tool for:

  • Replacing outdated pen-and-paper forms with digital ones.
  • Automating calculations and data entry.
  • Reducing manual work and costly errors.
  • Customizing forms for your specific production and compliance needs.

Key Features to Build Better Forms

Form Builder Fields

1. Form Fields for Full Flexibility

Tailor every field to reflect your real-world processes—no more trying to force-fit your workflow into generic software.

  • Data Select: Pull info directly from your inventory, user database, or batch records, reducing misentries and saving time.
  • Numeric Fields: Standardize units (grams, millilitres, etc.) to avoid inconsistencies.
  • File Uploads: Attach critical documents (e.g., photos, scanned cleaning records) right in the form for easier traceability.

🛠️ Why it matters: You can capture the exact data you need, in the right format, with less room for error. Everything is structured, searchable, and instantly useful.

💡 Example: Instead of handwriting which cannabis trim batch was used (and risking errors), use a drop-down Data Select to pull the batch straight from your inventory.

Conditional Field Logic

2. Conditional Logic That Keeps Forms Clean

Only show fields that matter—based on real-time user input.

  • Forms automatically adjust based on selections (e.g., revealing or hiding sections).
  • Helps staff move faster and reduces the chance of someone filling out the wrong field.

🛠️ Why it matters: You reduce clutter, speed up data entry, and help prevent mistakes—especially important when workflows vary based on product type or process stage.

💡 Example: If a production team selects “Infused Pre-Roll,” a new field appears for “Extract Type.” If they choose “Non-Infused,” that section stays hidden—making the form quicker to complete and easier to follow.

Math Fields

3. Built-In Calculations to Eliminate Errors

No calculator? No problem.

  • Automatically calculate key metrics like yield, weights, or production losses.
  • Real-time math ensures precision, helping you stay on spec and within regulatory ranges.

🛠️ Why it matters: Manual math is slow, error-prone, and inconsistent. Automated calculations reduce human error, keep your processes within tolerance, and save your QA team from double-checking every form.

💡 Example: Target Pre-Roll Weight = Pre-Roll Size + Empty Tube Weight Tolerances = Target ± 5%

This data updates as users input values—ensuring every entry meets your standards before submission.

Repeatable Form Sections

4. Repeatable Sections for Detailed Tracking

Some tasks need the same data logged over and over (e.g., hourly checks, batch-level testing).

  • Add repeatable sections for structured logging of repetitive activities.
  • Organize data clearly by time, event, or batch.

🛠️ Why it matters: This keeps your records tidy, auditable, and easy to analyze—without creating form fatigue for your team. It's perfect for industries with strict quality protocols.

💡 Example: Create a repeatable section for hourly QC checks. Track 10 random pre-roll weights, timestamp each check, and link batch IDs for complete traceability. No missed steps, no loose paper.

Inventory, Equipment and Records are associated with Work Orders

5. Integrated with Work Orders and Inventory

Forms are directly connected to the rest of your operational data.

  • Link forms with work orders, inventory, QA logs, and equipment records.
  • Pull in relevant info automatically, eliminating double-entry.

🛠️ Why it matters: This turns your form data into a living part of your production process. It keeps everyone accountable, cuts down admin work, and ensures all your compliance documentation is up to date and in one place.

💡 Example: Attach a sanitation checklist, equipment calibration log, and QA signoff to a single work order. When it's time for an audit, it’s all there—clean, connected, and easy to verify.
