# ARCH — Universal Form Builder (v1.4)
> **Source of truth** for Crewli's universal Form Builder architecture.
> Any discrepancy with SCHEMA.md is resolved in favour of this document
> during the refactor. SCHEMA.md is updated at the end of the refactor.
>
> **Status:** Approved — WS-5a landed (relational `form_field_bindings`)
> **Version:** 1.4 (§6.3 retitled to "Binding row specification"; new
> §6.7 "Relational binding table"; §17.3 pre-publish check in present
> tense per WS-5a)
> **Previous version:** 1.3 (§10.4 public submission lifecycle —
> draft/save/submit split with error envelope and drift detection),
> 1.2.1 April 2026 (§31.10 FORM-02 contract),
> 1.2 April 2026 (per-purpose lifecycles, integration contracts, user
> guidance principles, documentation coverage, in-app copy catalogue)
> **Created:** April 2026
> **Owner:** Architecture doc; every session reads this before starting
>
> **Breaking change acceptance:** Crewli currently runs only as a development
> environment. Full refactor with breaking changes is acceptable and preferred
> over incremental non-breaking changes that would leave architectural debt.

## 0. TL;DR — What every session must know
Ten bullets every Claude Code session reads before starting:
1. **Goal:** replace the event-scoped `registration_form_fields` with a
polymorphic, universal form builder serving 7 distinct purposes
(v1.0) from event registration to incident reports to contract
signatures. Purposes are registered in
`config/form_builder/purposes.php` via `PurposeRegistry`; adding a
new purpose requires a code change (config + typically a listener)
— per ARCH-CONSOLIDATION §3 besluit 4.
2. **Four patterns:** entity-bound, submission-bound, event-registration,
public. Every schema matches one.
3. **Three tables are core:** `form_schemas` (definitions), `form_fields`
(within schemas), `form_submissions` + `form_values` (results).
Auxiliary: `form_value_options`, `form_templates`, `form_field_library`,
`form_schema_webhooks`, `form_webhook_deliveries`,
`form_schema_sections`, `form_submission_section_statuses`,
`form_submission_delegations`, `user_profiles` (renamed, slimmed).
4. **Three binding patterns per field:** entity-owned (A), form-owned (B),
mirrored (C). Controlled via `form_fields.binding` JSON against a
server-side entity column registry.
5. **System-internal lookups bypass the form layer.** Reading
`user_profiles.bio` from a service happens directly on the table, never
through form_fields. Form layer is for UI rendering and editing only.
6. **Filtering is first-class.** `form_fields.is_filterable` + indexed
storage (`value_indexed`, `form_value_options` pivot) + filter-registry
endpoint. Tag-based filters stay on existing `user_organisation_tags`.
7. **Governance is built-in.** Retention policies, PII-flagging, consent
versioning, right-to-be-forgotten workflow with anonymisation.
8. **Schema lifecycle has three mechanisms:** `schema_version` (always
tracks edits), `schema_snapshot` per submission (for audit trails),
`freeze_on_submit` (prevents edits after first submission). See §18
for interaction rules.
9. **Events are the backbone.** Every submission state change fires a
Laravel event. Webhooks, activity log, analytics, and integrations are
all listeners on these events — never ad-hoc in services.
10. **Pre-flight audit is mandatory.** Every session starts with the audit
block (§21) that verifies no accidental user_profile / volunteer_profile
changes slipped into the codebase before work begins.
### [v1.2 addition] Three more principles:
11. **User guidance is a first-class concern.** Every decision-impacting UI
control has contextual help (§28). Every destructive action has a
preview. No feature ships without in-app guidance + VitePress docs.
12. **Integration contracts are explicit.** The form builder's interaction
with identity matching, crowd lists, shifts, and email notifications
is contract-defined (§31). No ad-hoc cross-module coupling.
13. **Per-purpose lifecycles are documented.** Each of the 7 FormPurpose
values (v1.0) has a concrete lifecycle paragraph (§3.2) covering
subject handling, submission flow, integrations, and sample fields.
The wider vocabulary that once counted 22 variants is intentionally
retired in v1.0 — purposes outside the registered seven are not
part of the physical schema nor the behaviour spec.

## 1. Rationale
Crewli has a proven registration form builder with EAV storage, 11
system-seeded templates, and strong adoption. It handles event
registration well but is hard-coded to `event_id`. The same mechanism is
desired for:
- Artist advancing intake (rider, contacts, production)
- Supplier intake (materials, power, transport)
- Persistent user/artist/company profile fields
- Post-event volunteer evaluations
- Signatures for contracts, code-of-conduct, accreditation receipt
- Incident reports during events
- Absence reports, check-out inventory
- Public complaints, press access requests, VIP RSVPs
- Onboarding and setup wizards
- Custom organisation-specific forms
The legacy `volunteer_profiles` table (documented in SCHEMA v1.3 but
never implemented) mixed truly user-universal data (bio, photo) with
event-variable data (tshirt_size, allergies) and skill-like claims
(first_aid, driving_licence). Those are redistributed:
- `tshirt_size`, `allergies`, `access_requirements``form_fields` per event
- `first_aid`, `driving_licence``person_tags` (system-seeded)
- `bio`, `photo_url`, `emergency_contact_*`, `reliability_score`, `is_ambassador` → stay on a renamed, slimmed `user_profiles` table
The result: `user_profiles` becomes genuinely user-universal, the form
builder handles entity-specific and event-specific variation, and the
tag system handles skills and certificates.
---
## 2. Four form patterns
Every form in Crewli fits one of four patterns:
| Pattern | Description | Subject | Examples |
|---|---|---|---|
| **Entity-bound** | Values persist on the subject. One submission per subject; updates overwrite. | user, artist, company, organisation | user_profile, artist_profile, company_profile |
| **Submission-bound** | Each submission is a standalone document with its own lifecycle. Multiple allowed per subject. | any, incl. null | incident_report, feedback, post_event_evaluation |
| **Event-registration** | Hybrid: one submission per person per event. Treated as entity-bound within the event's person context. | person | event_registration |
| **Public** | No authenticated subject. Accessed via public token. | null | public_complaint, public_rsvp |
---
## 3. FormPurpose catalogue
### 3.1 Enum values summary
Every `form_schemas.purpose` is one of these values. Purpose determines
allowed `subject_type`, default `submission_mode`, and whether public
access is allowed.
| Purpose | Subject type | Mode | Public? | Pattern |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| `event_registration` | person | draft_single | No | Event-registration |
| `user_profile` | user | single | No | Entity-bound |
| `artist_profile` | artist | single | No | Entity-bound |
| `company_profile` | company | single | No | Entity-bound |
| `artist_advance` | artist | draft_single | Via artist.portal_token | Entity-bound + sections |
| `supplier_intake` | company | draft_single | Via production_request.token | Entity-bound + sections |
| `incident_report` | user / null | multiple | No | Submission-bound |
| `feedback` | user / null | multiple | No | Submission-bound |
| `post_event_evaluation` | person | single | No | Submission-bound |
| `signature_contract` | user / artist | single | No | Submission-bound (frozen) |
| `signature_code_of_conduct` | user | single | No | Submission-bound (frozen) |
| `signature_receipt` | person | multiple | No | Submission-bound (frozen) |
| `absence_report` | person | multiple | No | Submission-bound |
| `check_out_inventory` | person | multiple | No | Submission-bound |
| `public_complaint` | null | multiple | Yes + captcha | Public |
| `public_press_request` | null | multiple | Yes + captcha | Public |
| `public_rsvp` | person / null | single | Yes via token | Public |
| `onboarding_wizard` | organisation | single | No | Entity-bound + sections |
| `event_setup_wizard` | event | single | No | Entity-bound + sections |
| `company_custom` | company | single | No | Entity-bound |
| `artist_custom` | artist | single | No | Entity-bound |
| `custom` | organisation-defined | organisation-defined | organisation-defined | Per §17.3 |
### 3.2 [v1.2] Per-purpose lifecycles
This section defines the concrete lifecycle of each FormPurpose: who
creates the schema, who submits, what integrations fire, and what the
canonical system-seeded template contains. Intended as binding spec for
S3 (seeding) and S5 (frontend rendering).
#### 3.2.1 `event_registration`
**Who creates the schema:** organiser (org_admin or event_manager) per event,
via form-builder UI. Seeded from `EventRegistrationDefault` template on
first event_registration form opened.
**Who submits:** person (via portal, either as authenticated user or as
external person during public registration).
**Submission flow:**
1. Person opens the registration form (authenticated or via public URL)
2. `FormSubmission.opened_at` = now; status = draft
3. Fields rendered per conditional_logic + role_restrictions
4. On submit: FormSubmissionSubmitted event fires
5. Integration: PersonIdentityService invoked (see §31.1) to detect match
6. Integration: if form contains AVAILABILITY_PICKER values, shift_assignments
are provisionally created at status=claim_pending (see §31.3)
7. Integration: if form contains SECTION_PRIORITY values, preferences are
stored in `person_section_preferences` (existing table)
8. Integration: confirmation email sent via CrewliMailable (see §31.4)
**Canonical system template fields:**
- Naam (Pattern C → persons.first_name + last_name)
- E-mail (Pattern C → persons.email), required
- Telefoon (Pattern C → persons.phone)
- Geboortedatum (Pattern C → persons.date_of_birth), PII=true
- Shirtmaat (SELECT XS/S/M/L/XL/XXL, filterable=true)
- Dieetwensen (CHECKBOX_LIST, filterable=true)
- Allergieën (TEXTAREA, PII=true)
- Toegangsbehoeften (TEXTAREA, PII=true)
- Noodcontact naam (Pattern C → user_profiles.emergency_contact_name), PII=true
- Noodcontact telefoon (Pattern C → user_profiles.emergency_contact_phone), PII=true
- Certificaten & vaardigheden (TAG_PICKER)
- Motivatie (TEXTAREA, optional)
- Sectie-voorkeuren (SECTION_PRIORITY)
- Beschikbaarheid (AVAILABILITY_PICKER)
- Toestemming gegevensverwerking (BOOLEAN, required, consent-tracked)
**Mode rationale:** draft_single — persons may fill across multiple sessions,
but only one registration per person per event is meaningful.
**freeze_on_submit:** false. Organiser may want to add fields mid-campaign.
**retention_days default:** 1095 (3 years, matches typical volunteer data retention).
#### 3.2.2 `user_profile`
**Who creates:** organiser per organisation (exactly one schema per
organisation, seeded automatically via `UserProfileDefault`).
**Who submits:** authenticated user via portal (`/profile` page).
**Submission flow:**
1. User opens profile; submission created on-demand if not exists
2. All fields are Pattern A (entity-owned → user_profiles columns)
3. User edits; on save, `updateOrCreate` on user_profiles
4. FormSubmissionSubmitted fires on any update
5. No confirmation email (user-initiated, no notification needed)
**Canonical fields:**
- Bio (Pattern A → user_profiles.bio)
- Profielfoto (Pattern A → user_profiles.photo_url, IMAGE_UPLOAD)
- Noodcontact naam (Pattern A)
- Noodcontact telefoon (Pattern A)
**Mode:** single (exactly one submission per user, updates overwrite).
**freeze_on_submit:** false.
**retention_days:** null (never anonymised — user profile persists while
account exists; deletion happens via user-delete flow, see §13.4).
#### 3.2.3 `artist_profile`
**Who creates:** org-level, one schema per organisation.
**Who submits:** organiser on behalf of artist (via artist management UI),
or artist themselves via artist portal token.
**Submission flow:**
1. Submission created when artist is created in system
2. Organisers fill/update artist profile fields
3. Public flow: artist clicks portal_token link, sees profile form
4. On save, entity updates (Pattern A for most fields)
5. FormSubmissionSubmitted fires
**Canonical fields (initial set, extended when artist module lands):**
- Band/artist naam (Pattern A → artists.name)
- Contact naam (Pattern A → artists.contact_name)
- Contact e-mail (Pattern A → artists.contact_email)
- Genre (SELECT, filterable=true)
- Rider-notities (TEXTAREA)
- Technische rider (FILE_UPLOAD, PDF)
**Mode:** single.
**freeze_on_submit:** false.
**retention_days:** null (artist relationships persist across events).
#### 3.2.4 `company_profile`
Mirror of `artist_profile` but for company entities. One schema per org,
companies get a row on creation. Pattern A/C mix for contact fields.
**Canonical fields:** contact_name, contact_email, contact_phone, website,
company-type (supplier/partner/etc.), KvK-nummer, BTW-nummer.
#### 3.2.5 `artist_advance`
**Who creates:** org-level schema (one per org), seeded from
`ArtistAdvanceDefault`. Schema has `section_level_submit=true`.
**Who submits:** artist via portal_token (no authentication required).
**Submission flow:**
1. Artist receives email with portal link (triggered by organiser)
2. Opens link → token resolved, submission fetched or created
3. Form shown with sections: General Info, Contacts, Production (power,
catering, transport), Technical Rider, Hospitality
4. Artist fills sections independently; each section submit separately
5. On section submit: FormSubmissionSectionSubmitted event fires
6. Organiser reviews per section → section status approved/rejected/
changes_requested
7. When all sections approved: FormSubmissionSubmitted fires at submission level
8. Integration: triggers accreditation generation per ARCH-07 (future)
**Mode:** draft_single.
**freeze_on_submit:** false during draft; true after all sections approved.
**retention_days:** 2555 (7 years, contractual retention).
#### 3.2.6 `supplier_intake`
**Who creates:** org-level schema seeded from `SupplierIntakeDefault`. Uses
`section_level_submit=true`.
**Who submits:** supplier via production_request.token.
**Submission flow:** analogous to artist_advance. Sections: Company info,
Personnel list (TABLE_ROWS), Materials (TABLE_ROWS), Power requirements,
Transport + logistics, Accreditation requests.
Integration with existing `production_requests` infrastructure (see §31.6).
#### 3.2.7 `incident_report`
**Who creates:** org-level schema from `IncidentReportDefault`.
**Who submits:** any authenticated user (volunteer, crew, organiser) during
an event. Also available via public form if organiser enables public token
(rare — typically internal only).
**Submission flow:**
1. User accesses via "Rapporteer incident" link in portal (event-scoped)
2. Submission has subject_type=user (submitter), event context in metadata
3. `freeze_on_submit=true` — once submitted, cannot be edited (integrity)
4. Organiser reviews via incident dashboard; review_status workflow applies
5. Integration: critical incidents notify org_admins via CrewliMailable
6. `schema_snapshot` stored for legal retention
**Canonical fields:**
- Tijdstip incident (DATETIME, required, defaults to now)
- Locatie (TEXT, required)
- Type incident (SELECT: medisch/veiligheid/schade/conflict/anders, filterable)
- Ernst (SELECT: laag/middel/hoog/kritiek, filterable)
- Betrokkenen (TEXTAREA)
- Beschrijving (TEXTAREA, required)
- Ondernomen actie (TEXTAREA, required)
- Foto's (IMAGE_UPLOAD, multiple, max 5)
- Politie/ambulance gebeld? (BOOLEAN)
**Mode:** multiple (same user can report multiple incidents).
**freeze_on_submit:** true.
**retention_days:** 3650 (10 years, legal minimum).
**snapshot_mode:** on_submit.
#### 3.2.8 `feedback`
**Who creates:** per-event or per-org schema.
**Who submits:** volunteer / crew / public visitor (public optional).
**Submission flow:** simple form-submit, fires FormSubmissionSubmitted,
organiser can browse responses.
**Canonical fields:** waardering (NUMBER 1-5), wat ging goed (TEXTAREA),
wat kan beter (TEXTAREA), zou je terugkomen (BOOLEAN).
**Mode:** multiple.
**retention_days:** 365.
#### 3.2.9 `post_event_evaluation`
**Who creates:** per-event schema, triggered by organiser after event closes.
**Who submits:** person who participated (subject = person).
**Submission flow:**
1. Organiser clicks "Verstuur evaluatie" in event dashboard
2. Emails sent to all approved persons (see §31.4)
3. Person clicks link, fills form
4. On submit: FormSubmissionSubmitted fires
5. Aggregation dashboard populates from submissions
**Canonical fields:**
- Algemene waardering (NUMBER 1-5)
- Shift-waardering (NUMBER 1-5)
- Was de briefing duidelijk? (NUMBER 1-5)
- Wil je terugkomen? (BOOLEAN)
- Opmerkingen (TEXTAREA)
- Verbeterpunten (TEXTAREA)
- Anoniem? (BOOLEAN) — if true, submitted_by_user_id cleared on submit
**Mode:** single (one evaluation per person per event).
**snapshot_mode:** on_submit (responses frozen post-event).
**retention_days:** 365.
#### 3.2.10 `signature_contract`
**Who creates:** per-org, optionally per artist/event.
**Who submits:** user or artist via authenticated / token flow.
**Submission flow:**
1. Schema contains PARAGRAPH with contract text + SIGNATURE field
2. On submit: signature hashed (§9), stored
3. submission locked (`freeze_on_submit=true` enforced)
4. PDF can be generated later (out of scope for v1)
**Mode:** single.
**retention_days:** 2555 (7 years fiscal).
**snapshot_mode:** on_submit.
#### 3.2.11 `signature_code_of_conduct`
Per-event schema. User must sign code-of-conduct before participating.
Linked from portal "Gedragscode tekenen" action. Integration: person cannot
claim shifts until code-of-conduct submission exists with status=submitted
(see §31.5).
**Fields:** PARAGRAPH (code text from org config) + BOOLEAN (Ik ga akkoord)
+ SIGNATURE.
**Mode:** single per person per event.
#### 3.2.12 `signature_receipt`
Per-event, per-person-per-accreditation. Used at accreditation desk:
volunteer signs for received wristband / t-shirt / meal vouchers.
**Fields:** TABLE_ROWS (items received with quantities) + SIGNATURE.
**Mode:** multiple (different receipts at different moments).
**freeze_on_submit:** true.
#### 3.2.13 `absence_report`
**Who creates:** per-event optional schema. If not present, absence is
logged via simple status change on shift_assignment.
**Who submits:** person via portal when they realise they can't show up.
**Submission flow:**
1. Person clicks "Ik kan toch niet komen" on shift detail
2. Form opens, subject = person
3. Fields: reason (SELECT), notes (TEXTAREA), affected_shifts (AVAILABILITY_PICKER
showing their assigned shifts)
4. On submit: for each affected shift, ShiftAssignment.status → cancelled with
cancellation_source="volunteer_absence"
5. FormSubmissionSubmitted fires; organiser notification sent
**Mode:** multiple.
**Integration:** see §31.3 (shifts) and §31.4 (email).
#### 3.2.14 `check_out_inventory`
Accreditation-desk form used at end of event when volunteer returns gear.
**Fields:** TABLE_ROWS (items returned, condition per item), SIGNATURE of
accreditation officer + volunteer.
**Integration:** links to accreditation module (ARCH-07, future) — at that
point the pre-checkin items list is auto-populated.
#### 3.2.15 `public_complaint`
Public form accessible via crewli.app/f/{token}. Captcha required.
**Fields:** name (optional), email (required), subject (TEXT), message
(TEXTAREA), event (SELECT from org's public events).
**Rate limit:** 3 per IP per hour.
**Integration:** triggers email to configured complaints-mailbox (org-level
config).
#### 3.2.16 `public_press_request`
Similar to public_complaint but for press accreditation requests. Fields:
outlet name, contact details, press card upload, event(s) requested.
Captcha required.
#### 3.2.17 `public_rsvp`
VIP RSVP form. Public URL with token. subject_type may be null (truly
public) or person (specific VIP invited). Fields: name, email, attending
(BOOLEAN), plus_ones (NUMBER), dietary_preference.
#### 3.2.18 `onboarding_wizard`
Self-hosted meta-form. Used when a new organisation is created — the
organisation-admin fills org details, brand, contact person, etc.
**Uses:** `section_level_submit=true`. Sections: Organisation basics, Brand
& communication, Invite members, Create first event.
**Pattern A** for all fields — writes directly to organisations table
(organisation is subject).
**Once complete:** schema is archived per organisation; never submitted again.
#### 3.2.19 `event_setup_wizard`
Similar to onboarding_wizard but per-event. Sections: Basic details, Crowd
types, Registration fields, Communication. Replaces the currently multi-
page event setup with a guided form.
#### 3.2.20 `company_custom`
Organisation-specific company fields. E.g., org tracks "preferred bank
account" or "fire safety certified?" on companies. One schema per org,
fields added by org_admin.
Pattern B for all custom fields (form-owned). Shows up in company detail
as a tab.
#### 3.2.21 `artist_custom`
Analogous to company_custom but for artists.
#### 3.2.22 `custom`
See §17.3 — organisations define their own purposes via
`custom_purpose_slug`. Subject type and mode must be explicitly set.

**Indexes:** `(form_schema_id, sort_order)`, `(form_schema_id, is_filterable)`, `(library_field_id)` partial
**Unique:** `(form_schema_id, slug)` on non-deleted
**Activity log:** yes — via spatie/laravel-activitylog
**Soft delete:** yes — deleting a field must not break historical submissions
#### 4.2.1 [v1.2] `is_unique` enforcement
When `is_unique=true`, values for this field must be unique across all
submissions of the same schema. Enforcement:
- **Application-level:** FormValueService validates on write, rejects with
422 if duplicate exists among submitted submissions of the same schema
- **Database-level:** partial UNIQUE index
`UNIQUE(form_field_id, value_indexed) WHERE form_field.is_unique = true
AND form_submission.status = 'submitted'`
— This is implemented via a database-level trigger or application-enforced
check because partial indexes with cross-table predicates are engine-
specific. Preferred: application-enforced for portability, with a
periodic integrity check job that flags violations for admin review.
### 4.3 `form_submissions`
| Column | Type | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| `id` | ULID | PK |

**Relations:** belongsTo form_schema, hasMany form_values, hasMany form_submission_section_statuses, hasMany form_submission_delegations, belongsTo submittedBy / reviewedBy (User), morphsTo subject
**Indexes:** `(form_schema_id, status)`, `(organisation_id, status)` (addendum Q2 — dashboards + CSV exports aggregate by tenant + status), `(event_id, status)` (addendum Q2 — event-scoped reporting), `(subject_type, subject_id)`, `(submitted_by_user_id)`, `(form_schema_id, review_status)` partial where not null, `FULLTEXT(search_index)` (MySQL)

**Soft delete:** yes
**Events fired:** See §17.1 — FormSubmissionCreated, FormSubmissionDraftUpdated, FormSubmissionSubmitted, FormSubmissionReviewed, FormSubmissionAnonymised, FormSubmissionArchived, FormSubmissionDeleted
### 4.4 `form_values`
| Column | Type | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| `id` | int AI | PK — integer for join performance |
| `form_submission_id` | ULID FK | → form_submissions, cascadeOnDelete |

**Indexes:** `(form_submission_id, form_field_id)`, `(form_field_id, value_indexed)` partial where value_indexed not null, `(form_field_id, value_number)` partial where value_number not null, `(form_field_id, value_date)` partial where value_date not null
**Unique:** `(form_submission_id, form_field_id)`
**Observer:** On upsert, populates value_indexed / value_number / value_date / value_bool / form_value_options based on field.value_storage_hint and field.is_filterable
### 4.5 `form_value_options` (filter pivot for multi-value fields)

### 4.6 `form_templates`
| Column | Type | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| `id` | ULID | PK |
| `organisation_id` | ULID FK | → organisations |
| `name` | string | |
| `slug` | string | |
| `purpose` | enum | FormPurpose — constrains target schemas |

**Indexes:** `(organisation_id, purpose, is_active)`
**Unique:** `(organisation_id, slug)`
#### 4.6.1 [v1.2] `schema_snapshot` JSON structure
The snapshot stored in `form_templates.schema_snapshot` AND in
`form_submissions.schema_snapshot` follows this canonical shape:
```json
{
"schema_version": 3,
"snapshot_created_at": "2026-04-17T14:00:00Z",
"schema": {
"name": "...",
"slug": "...",
"purpose": "event_registration",
"description": "...",
"locale": "nl",
"freeze_on_submit": false,
"section_level_submit": false,
"consent_version": "privacy-v2",
"settings": {}
},
"sections": [
{
"id": "01H...",
"slug": "general",
"name": "Algemeen",
"sort_order": 1,
"depends_on_section_slug": null,
"required_for_schema_submit": true
}
],
"fields": [
{
"id": "01H...",
"slug": "shirtmaat",
"field_type": "SELECT",
"label": "Shirtmaat",
"help_text": null,
"section_slug": null,
"options": ["XS","S","M","L","XL","XXL"],
"validation_rules": {"required": true},
"is_required": true,
"is_filterable": true,
"is_pii": false,
"binding": null,
"conditional_logic": null,
"translations": {},
"value_storage_hint": "json",
"sort_order": 5
}
]
}
```
Rationale: using slugs (not IDs) in cross-references so snapshots are
portable between orgs. library_field_id references are resolved to
inline definitions at snapshot time (see §4.7).
### 4.7 `form_field_library` (cross-schema reusable definitions)
| Column | Type | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| `id` | ULID | PK |
| `organisation_id` | ULID FK | → organisations |
| `name` | string | "Shirtmaat (standaard)" |
| `slug` | string | |
| `field_type` | string | |
| `label` | string | Default label when library field is inserted |
| `help_text` | text nullable | |
| `options` | JSON nullable | |
| `validation_rules` | JSON nullable | |
| `default_is_required` | bool, default false | |
| `default_is_filterable` | bool, default false | |
| `default_binding` | JSON nullable | |
| `translations` | JSON nullable | |
| `description` | text nullable | Admin-only description of intended use |
| `usage_count` | int, default 0 | Cached count of form_fields.library_field_id = this.id |
| `is_system` | bool | true = shipped with Crewli |
| `is_active` | bool | |
| `created_at`, `updated_at` | | |
**Relations:** hasMany form_fields (via library_field_id)
**Indexes:** `(organisation_id, field_type)`, `(organisation_id, is_active)`
**Unique:** `(organisation_id, slug)`
When an organiser inserts a library field into a schema, a new `form_fields`
row is created with `library_field_id = library.id` and values copied from
the library definition. The inserted field is independent thereafter —
editing it does not affect the library, and vice versa. The `library_field_id`
reference exists for analytics ("used 34 times") and for "update all copies"
workflows later.
### 4.8 `form_schema_sections` (for section-level submit)
Only used when `form_schemas.section_level_submit = true`.
| Column | Type | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| `id` | ULID | PK |
| `form_schema_id` | ULID FK | → form_schemas, cascadeOnDelete |
| `slug` | string | [v1.2] Added for snapshot portability |
| `name` | string | "Technical Rider" |
| `description` | text nullable | |
| `sort_order` | int | |
| `submit_independent` | bool, default true | Whether this section can be submitted independently |
| `depends_on_section_id` | ULID FK nullable | → self; section is locked until dependency is approved |
| `required_for_schema_submit` | bool, default true | If all required sections must be submitted+approved to consider schema submit complete |
**Indexes:** `(form_schema_id, sort_order)`
**Unique:** `(form_schema_id, slug)`
#### 4.8.1 [v1.2] Cycle detection
When saving a section with `depends_on_section_id`, FormSchemaService
validates no cycle is created (depth-first traversal of depends_on_section_id
chain). Rejected with 422 on cycle detection.
### 4.9 `form_submission_section_statuses`
| Column | Type | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| `id` | ULID | PK |
| `form_submission_id` | ULID FK | → form_submissions, cascadeOnDelete |

| `status` | enum | draft / submitted / approved / rejected / changes_requested |
| `submitted_at` | datetime nullable | |
| `reviewed_by_user_id` | ULID FK nullable | |
| `reviewed_at` | datetime nullable | |
| `review_notes` | text nullable | |
**Unique:** `(form_submission_id, form_schema_section_id)`
### 4.10 `form_submission_delegations`

**Indexes:** `(delegated_to_user_id, revoked_at)`, `(form_submission_id)`
### 4.11 `form_schema_webhooks`
| Column | Type | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| `id` | ULID | PK |
| `form_schema_id` | ULID FK | → form_schemas, cascadeOnDelete |
| `name` | string | "Zapier — New registration" |
| `trigger_event` | enum | submission_created / submission_submitted / submission_reviewed / section_submitted / section_approved / section_rejected |
| `url` | string (encrypted) | Webhook endpoint; validated against allowlist/blocklist |
| `secret` | string (encrypted) nullable | HMAC secret for payload signing |
| `is_active` | bool, default true | |
| `created_at`, `updated_at` | | |
**Indexes:** `(form_schema_id, is_active)`
### 4.12 `form_webhook_deliveries`
| Column | Type | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| `id` | ULID | PK |
| `form_schema_webhook_id` | ULID FK | → form_schema_webhooks |

### 4.13 `user_profiles` (renamed from legacy volunteer_profiles, slimmed)
| Column | Type | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| `id` | ULID | PK |
| `user_id` | ULID FK unique | → users, cascadeOnDelete |
| `bio` | text nullable | |

| `emergency_contact_name` | string nullable | |
| `emergency_contact_phone` | string nullable | |
| `reliability_score` | decimal(3,2), default 0.00 | System-computed |
| `is_ambassador` | bool, default false | System-awarded |
| `settings` | JSON nullable | Strict: opaque UI/notification preferences only (see §4.13.1) |
| `created_at`, `updated_at` | | |
**Computed attributes (Laravel accessors):**
- `last_submitted_at``max(form_submissions.submitted_at WHERE subject=this user AND status=submitted AND is_test=false)`
**Relations:** belongsTo User
**Indexes:** `(reliability_score)`
**Unique:** `(user_id)`
**No soft delete** — tightly coupled to user; cascades on user delete
#### 4.13.1 [v1.2] `settings` scope enforcement
`user_profiles.settings` is a strictly-scoped JSON column. Allowed
top-level keys are defined in `config/form_builder.php`:
```php
'user_profile_settings_whitelist' => [
'ui.theme',
'ui.sidebar_collapsed',
'ui.time_format',
'notifications.email_digest',
'notifications.shift_reminders',
'notifications.event_updates',
],
```
**Forbidden:** any queryable business attribute, org-specific preferences
(those belong in `organisation_user` pivot), anything identity-related.
**Enforcement:** `UserProfileSettingsValidator` custom rule on the
update-request. Rejects keys not in whitelist with 422.
**Locale** lives on `users.locale` (already exists). Not duplicated here.

### 4.14 Multi-tenancy scope chain
Per ARCH-CONSOLIDATION-ADDENDUM-2026-04-24 §Q2, form-builder child tables
resolve tenancy through their parent via the declarative
`tenantScopeStrategy()` method on each model. `OrganisationScope`'s
resolver walks parents recursively (max 3 hops) until it reaches a
column-based strategy (direct `organisation_id`, or a legacy
`$organisationScopeColumn` bridge like `event_id` or
`festival_section_id`).
The chains for the nine form-builder child models are:
| Model | Strategy | Hops to org |
|-------|----------|-------------|
| `FormSubmission` | `column: organisation_id` (denormalized, §4.3) | 0 |
| `FormSchema` | `column: organisation_id` (existing) | 0 |
| `FormSchemaSection` | `via: FormSchema, fk: form_schema_id` | 1 |
| `FormField` | `via: FormSchema, fk: form_schema_id` | 1 |
| `FormSchemaWebhook` | `via: FormSchema, fk: form_schema_id` | 1 |
| `FormSubmissionSectionStatus` | `via: FormSubmission, fk: form_submission_id` | 1 |
| `FormSubmissionDelegation` | `via: FormSubmission, fk: form_submission_id` | 1 |
| `FormWebhookDelivery` | `via: FormSubmission, fk: form_submission_id` | 1 |
| `FormValue` | `via: FormSubmission, fk: form_submission_id` | 1 |
| `FormValueOption` | `via: FormValue, fk: form_value_id` → FormSubmission → `organisation_id` | 2 |
The same work package extended scope coverage to five event-data models
outside the form-builder domain:
| Model | Strategy | Notes |
|-------|----------|-------|
| `ShiftAssignment` | `via: Shift, fk: shift_id` | Shift uses legacy `festival_section_id` bridge |
| `ShiftWaitlist` | `via: Shift, fk: shift_id` | — |
| `VolunteerAvailability` | `via: TimeSlot, fk: time_slot_id` | TimeSlot uses legacy `event_id` bridge |
| `PersonSectionPreference` | `via: FestivalSection, fk: festival_section_id` | FestivalSection uses legacy `event_id` bridge |
| `PersonIdentityMatch` | `via: Person, fk: person_id` | Person uses legacy `event_id` bridge |
Callers that need cross-org queries (public form endpoints, admin
dashboards, anonymisation retention jobs) must use
`->withoutGlobalScope(OrganisationScope::class)` explicitly — see
`PublicFormSchemaResource::toArray()` for the canonical pattern on
`loadMissing(['fields' => fn ($q) => $q->withoutGlobalScope(...)])`.

## 5. FormFieldType catalogue
### 5.1 Built-in types
| Type | Stored value | UI widget | Filterable? |
|---|---|---|---|
| `TEXT` | string | VTextField single-line | Yes |
| `TEXTAREA` | string | VTextarea | No |
| `EMAIL` | string | VTextField type=email | Yes |
| `PHONE` | string (E.164) | VTextField | Yes |
| `NUMBER` | number | VTextField type=number | Yes (via value_number) |
| `DATE` | ISO date | VDatePicker | Yes (via value_date) |
| `DATETIME` | ISO datetime | VDatePicker + time | Yes |
| `BOOLEAN` | bool | VSwitch | Yes (via value_bool) |
| `RADIO` | string (one option) | Radio group | Yes |
| `SELECT` | string | VSelect | Yes |
| `MULTISELECT` | string[] | VSelect multiple | Yes via form_value_options |
| `CHECKBOX_LIST` | string[] | Checkbox group | Yes via form_value_options |
| `FILE_UPLOAD` | string (path) | VFileInput | No |
| `IMAGE_UPLOAD` | string (path) | VFileInput images only | No |
| `SIGNATURE` | object (§9) | Signature pad | No |
| `TAG_PICKER` | string[] (tag IDs) | Tag autocomplete | Yes via user_organisation_tags |
| `HEADING` | no value | H3 | n/a |
| `PARAGRAPH` | no value | Prose block | n/a |
| `URL` | string | VTextField URL | Yes |
| `SECTION_PRIORITY` | `{ section_id, priority }[]` | Drag-to-prioritise | No |
| `AVAILABILITY_PICKER` | ULID[] (time_slot IDs) | Checkbox per slot | No |
| `TABLE_ROWS` | `{ [col_slug]: value }[]` | Dynamic rows editor | No |
Custom field types registered via `CustomFieldTypeRegistry` (§17.2) extend
this list dynamically. The `field_type` column is stored as string, not
DB enum, to allow this.
### 5.2 [v1.2] Mapping to value_storage_hint
| Field type | Recommended value_storage_hint |
|---|---|
| TEXT, TEXTAREA, EMAIL, PHONE, URL | string |
| NUMBER | number |
| DATE, DATETIME | date |
| BOOLEAN | bool |
| RADIO, SELECT | string |
| Everything else | json (default) |
The hint is suggestive, not enforced — organiser can override. Observer
populates typed columns accordingly.

## 6. Field binding
### 6.1 The three patterns
**Pattern A — Entity-owned (`binding.mode = "entity_owned"`):**
Value lives in an entity column. Form field is a rendering surface.
No `form_values` row created. Reading: entity column. Writing: entity column.
**Pattern B — Form-owned (default, `binding = null`):**
Value lives in `form_values`. No entity column involved. Pure dynamic EAV.
**Pattern C — Mirrored (`binding.mode = "mirrored"`):**
Value written to entity column AND `form_values`. Entity is source of truth
going forward; form_values is historical audit.
### 6.2 Entity column registry
Server-side config file `config/form_binding.php`:
```php
return [
'user_profile' => [
'bio' => ['type' => 'text', 'label' => 'Bio', 'writable' => true],
'photo_url' => ['type' => 'image', 'label' => 'Profielfoto', 'writable' => true],
'emergency_contact_name' => ['type' => 'string', 'label' => 'Noodcontact naam', 'writable' => true],
'emergency_contact_phone' => ['type' => 'string', 'label' => 'Noodcontact telefoon', 'writable' => true],
],
'person' => [
'first_name' => ['type' => 'string', 'label' => 'Voornaam', 'writable' => true],
'last_name' => ['type' => 'string', 'label' => 'Achternaam', 'writable' => true],
'email' => ['type' => 'string', 'label' => 'E-mail', 'writable' => true],
'phone' => ['type' => 'string', 'label' => 'Telefoon', 'writable' => true],
'date_of_birth' => ['type' => 'date', 'label' => 'Geboortedatum', 'writable' => true],
'admin_notes' => ['type' => 'text', 'label' => 'Notities', 'writable' => true, 'admin_only' => true],
],
'company' => [
'name' => ['type' => 'string', 'label' => 'Bedrijfsnaam', 'writable' => true],
'contact_first_name' => ['type' => 'string', 'label' => 'Contact voornaam', 'writable' => true],
'contact_last_name' => ['type' => 'string', 'label' => 'Contact achternaam', 'writable' => true],
'contact_email' => ['type' => 'string', 'label' => 'Contact e-mail', 'writable' => true],
'contact_phone' => ['type' => 'string', 'label' => 'Contact telefoon', 'writable' => true],
],
'artist' => [
// populated when artist module lands
],
'organisation' => [
'name' => ['type' => 'string', 'label' => 'Organisatienaam', 'writable' => true],
'slug' => ['type' => 'string', 'label' => 'Slug', 'writable' => true],
'contact_name' => ['type' => 'string', 'label' => 'Contactpersoon', 'writable' => true],
'contact_email' => ['type' => 'string', 'label' => 'Contact-e-mail', 'writable' => true],
'phone' => ['type' => 'string', 'label' => 'Telefoon', 'writable' => true],
'website' => ['type' => 'string', 'label' => 'Website', 'writable' => true],
],
];
```
Only registered columns are valid binding targets. Form Request validates
at save time.
### 6.3 Binding row specification
Bindings live in the relational `form_field_bindings` table (see §6.7).
The columns on a row are:
| Column | Type | Notes |
| ------------------ | ------------------ | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
| `owner_type` | string(40) | morph alias: `form_field` or `form_field_library` |
| `owner_id` | ULID | parent row |
| `target_entity` | string(50) | e.g. `person`, `user_profile`, `company`, `organisation`, `artist` |
| `target_attribute` | string(100) | e.g. `email`, `first_name`, `emergency_contact_phone` |
| `mode` | string(20) | `FormFieldBindingMode` enum: `entity_owned` or `mirrored` |
| `sync_direction` | string(30) null | Pattern C only (e.g. `write_on_submit`); null for Pattern A |
| `merge_strategy` | string(20) | `FormFieldBindingMergeStrategy` enum; default `overwrite` |
| `trust_level` | tinyint unsigned | 0100, default 50; WS-6 consumer |
| `is_identity_key` | bool | default false; WS-6 person-matching |
Pattern B is represented by the **absence of a row**; only Pattern A and
Pattern C create rows.
Snapshot embedding (`form_submissions.schema_snapshot`, §4.6.1) continues
to embed bindings inline in the ARCH JSON shape. The snapshot writer
serialises rows via `FormFieldBindingService::toJsonShape`:
```json
// Pattern B (no row)
"binding": null
// Pattern A
"binding": {
"mode": "entity_owned",
"entity": "user_profile",
"column": "bio"
}
// Pattern C
"binding": {
"mode": "mirrored",
"entity": "user_profile",
"column": "emergency_contact_name",
"sync_direction": "write_on_submit"
}
```
Historical snapshots (written pre-WS-5a) use the same JSON shape, so
snapshot readers keep working unchanged.
### 6.4 Read/write semantics per pattern
| Operation | Pattern A | Pattern B | Pattern C |
|---|---|---|---|
| **Initial render** | Read entity column | Read form_value (null if new) | Read entity column |
| **Save draft** | Update entity | Upsert form_value | Update entity + upsert form_value |
| **Final submit** | Update entity | Upsert form_value | Update entity + upsert form_value |
| **Historical view** | Not possible — always current | Show stored form_value | Show stored form_value |
| **form_values row?** | No | Yes | Yes |
| **Filter source** | Entity column | form_values.value_indexed / value_number / etc. | Entity column (preferred) |
### 6.5 Binding-change safety
Changing a field's binding is a DANGEROUS OPERATION. Rules:
- If schema has zero submissions: free to change
- If schema has submissions but all are drafts: allowed with warning
- If schema has submitted submissions: REJECTED unless organiser provides
explicit `?force_binding_change=true` query param AND the change is
logged with elevated audit level
- Changing binding from B → A/C: orphans all historical form_values for
that field (they remain in DB but no longer the source of truth).
Documented in activity log.
- Changing binding from A/C → B: entity columns retain their values; new
submissions start storing in form_values again
Always logged via activity log with old/new binding for audit.
### 6.6 Cross-entity binding
Pattern C fields on event_registration schemas (subject = person) CAN bind
to `user_profile` columns IF `person.user_id` is set. When user_id is null
(external person), the mirror write is **skipped gracefully** and logged.
form_values row is still written in both cases.
### 6.7 Relational binding table
**Table:** `form_field_bindings` — columns defined in §6.3.
**Discriminator (WS-5a commit 1, Uitvoering per addendum Q3):** polymorphic
morph (`owner_type` / `owner_id`) with morph-map aliases `form_field` and
`form_field_library`. The paired-nullable-FK alternative was rejected —
MySQL 8 has no partial-unique support, and the remaining WS-5 sub-work-
packages (5b `form_field_validation_rules`, 5d `form_field_options`) reuse
the same owner-discriminator shape; a single idiomatic pattern across the
family beats per-table workarounds.
**Multi-tenancy (`FormFieldBindingScope`):** `OrganisationScope`'s
declarative FK-chain resolver (addendum Q2) walks direct or single-FK
parents; it cannot walk a morph parent. `FormFieldBindingScope` builds
the equivalent UNION:
```
owner_id ∈ (
SELECT id FROM form_fields
WHERE form_schema_id ∈ (SELECT id FROM form_schemas WHERE organisation_id = ?)
UNION
SELECT id FROM form_field_library
WHERE organisation_id = ?
)
```
Organisation context resolves the same way `OrganisationScope` does —
explicit override via constructor, then route parameter `organisation`
(and the `event` fallback). CLI, queues, and unauthenticated flows skip
the scope. Escape hatch:
`FormFieldBinding::withoutGlobalScope(FormFieldBindingScope::class)`.
**Service boundary (`FormFieldBindingService`):** all writes go through
the service — no controller fills bindings directly on the model. The
service owns:
- `bindingsFor(owner)` — eager, scope-aware fetch.
- `replaceBindings(owner, specs)` — transactional delete + insert;
validates every spec against the entity-column registry
(`config/form_binding.php`) and against `FormFieldBindingMode` /
`FormFieldBindingMergeStrategy` enums. Logs `field.bindings_replaced`
on the owning field.
- `copyBindings(library, field)` — row-clone on
`FormFieldService::insertFromLibrary` (Q3 row-copy mandate). Every
column is preserved; only `owner_type` / `owner_id` change.
- `toJsonShape(binding)` — single source of truth for serialising a row
into the ARCH §6.3 JSON shape. Consumed by the snapshot writer
(`FormSubmissionService::buildSnapshot`) and by API resources
(`FormFieldResource`, `FormFieldLibraryResource`).
**Cascade (`FormFieldBindingsCascadeObserver`):** bindings are physical
state, not audit. On soft- or hard-delete of the owner
(`FormField::delete()` or `FormFieldLibrary::delete()`), the observer
physically deletes the owner's bindings. No soft-delete on the binding
table itself.
**TODO (out of WS-5a scope, `FORM-BINDING-SNAPSHOT-MULTI`):** the
snapshot writer embeds at most one binding per field. Multi-binding on a
single field (per §6.1 future scenarios) needs a snapshot shape decision.
**Activity log events.** Changing a field's bindings emits two
entries on the parent `FormField` subject:
- `field.updated` — payload includes `old.binding` / `new.binding`
shapes reconstructed from the relational table via
`FormFieldBindingService::toJsonShape()`. Preserves the pre-WS-5a
audit-consumer contract for downstream tooling that parses
`field.updated` diffs.
- `field.bindings_replaced` — the semantic binding-change event,
emitted by `FormFieldBindingService::replaceBindings()`.
Both fire for the same semantic change. Aggregate queries over
activity-log event counts should filter on one, not both.
Downstream consumers that migrate to the semantic event can stop
listening to `field.updated` binding diffs once all their callers
have moved.

## 7. Filter architecture
A `form_fields.is_filterable = true` marks a field as queryable in list
views.
### 7.1 Filter strategy per field type
| Field type | Filter mechanism | Storage |
|---|---|---|
| TEXT, EMAIL, PHONE, URL | LIKE on value_indexed | form_values.value_indexed |
| NUMBER | Range on value_number | form_values.value_number |
| DATE, DATETIME | Range on value_date / value_indexed | form_values.value_date / value_indexed |
| BOOLEAN | Exact on value_bool | form_values.value_bool |
| RADIO, SELECT | Exact/IN on value_indexed | form_values.value_indexed |
| MULTISELECT, CHECKBOX_LIST | JOIN on form_value_options | form_value_options |
| TAG_PICKER | JOIN on user_organisation_tags | existing tag pivot |
| Pattern A/C entity-owned | WHERE on entity column | entity column |
| TEXTAREA, FILE_*, SIGNATURE, HEADING, PARAGRAPH, TABLE_ROWS, SECTION_PRIORITY, AVAILABILITY_PICKER | Not filterable | n/a — is_filterable forced to false |
### 7.2 Observer mechanics
When a form_value is upserted for a field with `is_filterable=true`:
- Single-value types: `value_indexed` = cast to string(255), truncated with
warning log if longer
- Number type: `value_number` = cast to decimal(15,4)
- Date type: `value_date` = cast to date
- Bool type: `value_bool` = cast to bool
- Multi-value types: rebuild form_value_options (delete all, insert current)
When `is_filterable=false`: all indexed columns NULL, pivot rows removed.
When toggling `is_filterable`: queued job backfills (or clears) existing
submissions. Job is observable (metric on queue depth).
### 7.3 Filter registry endpoint
Example: Personen-module
```
GET /api/v1/organisations/{org}/persons/filter-registry?event_id={ulid?}
```
Response:
```json
{
"data": [
{ "source": "entity_column", "key": "crowd_type_id", "label": "Crowd Type", "field_type": "SELECT", "options": [...] },
{ "source": "entity_column", "key": "status", "label": "Status", "field_type": "SELECT", "options": [...] },
{ "source": "tags", "key": "tags", "label": "Vaardigheden", "field_type": "TAG_PICKER", "options": [...] },
{
"source": "form_field",
"key": "form_field:01HZ...",
"form_field_id": "01HZ...",
"schema_slug": "...",
"label": "Shirtmaat",
"field_type": "SELECT",
"options": ["XS","S","M","L","XL","XXL"]
}
]
}
```
Caching: response cached on `(organisation_id, purpose, event_id?)` with
invalidation via form_schema/form_field activity log events.
### 7.4 [v1.2] Filter registry — entity column sources
The `entity_column` source in the filter registry is **separate** from the
binding registry (§6.2). Filterable entity columns per context are defined
in `config/form_filter_registry.php`:
```php
return [
'persons' => [
'crowd_type_id' => ['label' => 'Crowd Type', 'field_type' => 'SELECT', 'options_source' => 'crowd_types'],
'status' => ['label' => 'Status', 'field_type' => 'SELECT', 'options_enum' => PersonStatus::class],
'is_blacklisted' => ['label' => 'Uitgesloten', 'field_type' => 'BOOLEAN'],
],
'companies' => [...],
'events' => [...],
];
```
Rationale: not every bindable column is filterable (admin_notes shouldn't
be filtered), and not every filterable column is bindable (PersonStatus
is enum-driven, not user-editable via form).
### 7.5 Applying filters in list endpoints
A generic `FilterQueryBuilder` service:
- Takes URL params and the filter-registry definition
- Joins the appropriate tables based on source
- Applies WHERE/HAVING as appropriate
- Respects role-based access (a filter on admin_only field is rejected for
non-admin requester with 403)
### 7.6 Organiser UX
Form-builder UI shows "Gebruik als filter in overzichten" checkbox per
field. Disabled with tooltip for non-filterable types. Hint on enabling:
"Dit wordt extra geïndexeerd voor snelle filtering — alleen aanvinken voor
velden die je echt als filter gebruikt."
---
## 8. Conditional logic
`form_fields.conditional_logic` JSON:
```json
{
"show_when": {
"all": [
{ "field_slug": "has_allergies", "operator": "equals", "value": true }
]
}
}
```
Operators: equals, not_equals, contains, not_contains, in, not_in,
greater_than, less_than, empty, not_empty.
Groups: `all` (AND), `any` (OR), nestable.
References: by `field_slug` within same schema. Cyclic dependencies
rejected at save time via depth-first traversal check.
---
## 9. Signature field
Stored `value` JSON structure:
```json
{
"file_path": "signatures/01HZ.../signature.png",
"disk": "s3",
"signed_at": "2026-04-17T14:23:11Z",
"signer_name": "Bert Hausmans",
"signer_ip": "10.0.0.1",
"hash": "sha256:..."
}
```
Hash = SHA-256 of `file_bytes + signed_at + signer_name + signer_ip`.
Computed server-side on submit.
Once submitted, a signature form_value is immutable. The whole submission
transitions to an archived-locked state preventing further edits.
### 9.1 [v1.2] Storage disk configuration
File paths relative to disk specified in signature value. Disk comes from
`config('filesystems.default')` unless overridden per field:
```json
"validation_rules": { "storage_disk": "s3-private" }
```
### 9.2 [v1.2] Signature verification
`SignatureVerificationService::verify(FormValue $value): bool`:
- Reads file bytes from stored disk + path
- Recomputes SHA-256 using stored signed_at/signer_name/signer_ip
- Compares with stored hash
- Returns true/false
Used by: admin UI ("Verify integrity" button on submitted signatures),
legal-export endpoint (out of scope for v1, but service exists from day 1).
Integrity-mismatch triggers activity log entry at warning level AND
notification to org_admin.
---
## 10. Public token flow
Schemas with public purposes get a `public_token` ULID.
URL: `https://app.crewli.app/f/{public_token}`
Rules:
- GET on token URL: returns schema + empty submission state
- POST on token URL: creates submission; subject_type = null (or derived
from token)
- No authentication required
- Rate-limited per IP per schema per hour (configurable, default 5)
- Captcha REQUIRED for truly public purposes: public_complaint,
public_press_request
- Captcha NOT required for entity-token flows (artist_advance via
artist.portal_token; supplier_intake via production_request.token)
- public_submitter_email: collected but never echoed in public responses
Token rotation: setting a new `public_token` moves current to
`public_token_previous` and stamps `public_token_rotated_at`. Requests
using the previous token are accepted for a grace period (default 7
days), allowing users to complete already-opened forms. After grace: old
token returns 410 Gone.
### 10.1 [v1.2] Captcha provider
Cloudflare Turnstile (free, privacy-first, EU-friendly). Configuration in
`config/form_builder.php`:
```php
'captcha' => [
'provider' => 'turnstile',
'site_key' => env('TURNSTILE_SITE_KEY'),
'secret_key' => env('TURNSTILE_SECRET_KEY'),
'required_for_purposes' => ['public_complaint', 'public_press_request'],
],
```
Frontend embeds Turnstile widget. Backend validates token via
`CaptchaVerificationService::verify(string $token, string $remoteIp): bool`
before allowing submission.
Invalid captcha → 422 with clear error.
### 10.2 [v1.2] Rate limit storage
Uses Laravel's native `RateLimiter` facade. Backing store is
`config('cache.default')` — typically Redis in production, array-cache
in tests.
Rate limit key format: `form-submit:{public_token}:{ip}`
When limit hit: 429 Too Many Requests, with `Retry-After` header.
### 10.3 [v1.2] public_submitter_ip retention
`public_submitter_ip` is stored for audit/abuse-prevention. Automatically
anonymised after 30 days post-submission by scheduled job (configurable
via `config/form_builder.php.public_submitter_ip_retention_days`).
When anonymised: IP replaced with `"[anonymised]"` and
`public_submitter_ip_anonymised_at` set.
Exception: if submission is flagged for investigation (organiser marks it),
anonymisation is paused until flag is cleared.
### 10.4 [v1.3] Public submission lifecycle — draft / save / submit split
S2c split the atomic "one-POST does everything" flow into three
REST endpoints so the portal can auto-save drafts without firing
submit-events on every keystroke:
```
POST /api/v1/public/forms/{public_token}/submissions
Body: { idempotency_key (required, 630 chars),
opened_at?, submitted_in_locale?,
public_submitter_name?, public_submitter_email? }
Creates a draft. Returns PublicFormSubmissionResource.
Duplicate POST with the same idempotency_key returns the existing
draft as HTTP 200 (vs 201 for fresh). Race-safe via UNIQUE
(form_schema_id, idempotency_key).
PUT /api/v1/public/forms/{public_token}/submissions/{submission_id}
Body: { values: { <slug>: <value>|<array>, ... }, first_interacted_at? }
Auto-save — partial updates allowed, only provided slugs are
written. Status stays 'draft'. auto_save_count increments per call;
FormSubmissionDraftUpdated event fires. Rule layer is relaxed
(nullable + type checks); service layer enforces
form_fields.validation_rules (min/max/regex/unique).
POST /api/v1/public/forms/{public_token}/submissions/{submission_id}/submit
Body: { values?: {...}, captcha_token? }
Final submit. Merges body values with already-saved values, runs
STRICT rule set (required, in:options, types, min/max) against the
merged map. On success: status draft → submitted, schema_snapshot
stored per form_schemas.snapshot_mode, schema_version_at_submit set,
fires FormSubmissionSubmitted (→ §31.10 tag sync, §31.1 identity
match). Rate-limited per
(public_token, ip) per hour via RateLimiter 'form-submit:TOKEN:IP'.
```
**Schema drift detection.**
`form_submissions.schema_version_at_open` is stamped at draft-create
time; `schema_version_at_submit` is stamped at submit. Any difference
(or — for active drafts — a difference against current `schema.version`)
surfaces in `PublicFormSubmissionResource.schema_drift: true` so the
portal can warn "this form has changed since you started".
**Access rules.**
- Submission must belong to the resolved schema (URL
`(public_token, submission_id)` pair must match).
- Submission must be `status = draft` on both PUT and POST-submit —
409 `SUBMISSION_ALREADY_SUBMITTED` otherwise.
- Rotated-token grace window applies the same way as the GET: resolve
via `public_token` first, then `public_token_previous` (rejected
with 410 `TOKEN_EXPIRED` if past the hard-coded 7-day grace).
Making the window configurable is BACKLOG FORM-04.
**Error envelope (D6).**
Every public form endpoint responds with the shared shape:
```json
{ "message": "...", "code": "...", "errors"?: {"values.slug": ["..."]} }
```
Codes: `SCHEMA_NOT_FOUND`, `TOKEN_EXPIRED`, `TOKEN_REVOKED`,
`SCHEMA_UNPUBLISHED`, `SUBMISSION_ALREADY_SUBMITTED`, `RATE_LIMITED`
(carries `Retry-After` header), `VALIDATION_FAILED`.
**Dependency-data endpoints.** The public GET `/{public_token}` embeds
`available_tags` per TAG_PICKER field. `AVAILABILITY_PICKER` and
`SECTION_PRIORITY` use sibling read endpoints:
- `GET /{public_token}/time-slots` — VOLUNTEER person_type only,
festival-parent query surfaces parent + children time slots.
- `GET /{public_token}/sections` — `show_in_registration=true +
type=standard`, dedup by name across festival children.

## 11. Migration plan
Breaking change. No dual-support phase. Frontend updated in same PR.
### 11.1 Migration order
1. Create new tables: form_schemas, form_submissions, form_value_options,
form_field_library, form_schema_sections, form_submission_section_statuses,
form_submission_delegations, form_schema_webhooks, form_webhook_deliveries,
user_profiles
2. Rename: `registration_form_fields` → `form_fields`; add form_schema_id
(nullable), keep event_id temporarily
3. Rename: `person_field_values` → `form_values`; add form_submission_id
(nullable), keep person_id + registration_form_field_id temporarily
4. Rename: `registration_field_templates` → `form_templates`
5. Run data-migration script (§11.2)
6. Drop legacy columns: form_fields.event_id, form_values.person_id,
form_values.registration_form_field_id
7. Apply new indexes
Each step is a separate migration file with reversible `down()`.
### 11.2 Data migration script
Runs per organisation inside a transaction. Fails fast on unexpected shapes.
```
For each distinct event_id in (legacy) form_fields:
1. Create form_schemas row:
- organisation_id = event.organisation_id
- owner_type = 'event', owner_id = event.id
- purpose = 'event_registration'
- name = event.name + ' registratie'
- slug = event.slug + '-registratie'
- is_published = (event status allows it)
- submission_mode = 'draft_single'
- version = 1
- snapshot_mode = 'never'
- created_by_user_id = first event_user_roles.user_id WHERE role=admin
2. Update form_fields rows for that event:
- form_schema_id = newly created schema's id
- Preserve slug, field_type, config
- Set is_pii via heuristic (see §11.2.1)
3. For each distinct person with form_values for this event:
- Create form_submissions:
- form_schema_id = schema.id
- subject_type = 'person', subject_id = person.id
- submitted_by_user_id = person.user_id (may be null)
- status = 'submitted' (if person.status >= applied) else 'draft'
- submitted_at = MIN(form_values.created_at for that person)
- schema_version_at_submit = 1
- is_test = false
- Update form_values:
- form_submission_id = submission.id
- For value_storage_hint != 'json': backfill typed columns
- For is_filterable fields: backfill value_indexed / form_value_options
4. For each registration_field_template:
- Compute schema_snapshot
- Create form_templates row with purpose='event_registration'
After all organisations processed:
- Seed system templates per org (idempotent)
- Seed system person_tags per org (idempotent)
- Seed form_field_library system fields per org (idempotent)
Verification queries:
- Count old registration_form_fields = count new form_fields
- Count old person_field_values = count new form_values
- Every form_field has non-null form_schema_id
- Every form_value has non-null form_submission_id
- Sample submission round-trip: render matches old view
- Orphan check: no form_values with null form_submission_id
- Orphan check: no form_values referencing non-existent form_field_id
```
#### 11.2.1 [v1.2] PII heuristic
For legacy fields without is_pii flag:
```php
$piiSlugPatterns = [
'email', 'phone', 'telefoon', 'adres', 'address',
'emergency_contact', 'noodcontact', 'noodnummer',
'geboort', 'birthdate', 'birth_date', 'dob',
'allergie', 'allergy', 'medisch', 'medical',
'dieet', 'diet',
'toegangs', 'access',
'bsn', 'social_security',
'iban', 'bank',
];
$piiFieldTypes = ['EMAIL', 'PHONE'];
$isPii = in_array($field->field_type, $piiFieldTypes)
|| collect($piiSlugPatterns)->contains(fn($p) => str_contains(strtolower($field->slug), $p));
```
Organisers can fine-tune after migration via form-builder UI.
### 11.3 Rollback
Each migration has `down()`. Rollback restores legacy columns (event_id,
person_id, registration_form_field_id) from the new structure before
renaming tables back.
### 11.4 Migration rehearsal (mandatory)
Before running on real data:
1. Take a full dump of dev DB
2. Run migration on a copy
3. Run comparison script: per organisation, compare pre/post counts and
sample 10 random submissions, assert identical rendering
4. If any mismatch: stop, investigate
5. Only after clean rehearsal run on main dev DB
---
## 12. Seeding strategy
### 12.1 System form templates (on org creation, idempotent)
Every new organisation gets these with `is_system = true`. Detailed field
lists in §3.2 (per-purpose lifecycles).
- **EventRegistrationDefault** (§3.2.1)
- **UserProfileDefault** (§3.2.2)
- **ArtistAdvanceDefault** (§3.2.5)
- **SupplierIntakeDefault** (§3.2.6)
- **IncidentReportDefault** (§3.2.7)
- **PostEventEvaluationDefault** (§3.2.9)
- **SignatureContractDefault** (§3.2.10)
- **SignatureCodeOfConductDefault** (§3.2.11)
- **SignatureReceiptDefault** (§3.2.12)
- **FeedbackDefault** (§3.2.8)
System templates can be customised per org but not deleted; only
deactivated.
### 12.2 System form_field_library entries (on org creation, idempotent)
Common reusable fields seeded per organisation:
- **Shirtmaat** (SELECT, options: XS/S/M/L/XL/XXL, is_filterable=true)
- **Dieetwensen** (CHECKBOX_LIST, options: vegetarisch/veganistisch/
glutenvrij/lactosevrij/halal/kosher, is_filterable=true)
- **Noodcontact naam** (TEXT, is_pii=true)
- **Noodcontact telefoon** (PHONE, is_pii=true)
- **Geboortedatum** (DATE, is_pii=true)
- **Toestemming AVG** (BOOLEAN, required, consent field)
- **Opmerkingen** (TEXTAREA)
Organiser can insert these into any schema with one click.
### 12.3 System person_tags (on org creation, idempotent)
**Certificates (category: Certificaat):**
EHBO, BHV, VCA-VOL, VCA-BASIS, SVH Sociale Hygiëne, Horeca-diploma,
Keuringsregister, Rijbewijs A, Rijbewijs B, Rijbewijs BE, Rijbewijs C,
Rijbewijs CE, Aanhangwagen-rijbewijs, Heftruckcertificaat,
Hoogwerker-certificaat, AED-training.
**Languages (category: Taal):**
Engels, Duits, Frans, Spaans, Italiaans, Arabisch, Turks, Pools,
Portugees.
**Skills (category: Vaardigheid):**
Tapper, Barista, Kassa-ervaring, Security-ervaring, Podium-ervaring,
Techniek-ervaring, Logistiek-ervaring, Cateringervaring,
Schoonmaak-ervaring, Verkeersregelaar, Parkeerplaats-ervaring.
Seeded via `PersonTagSystemSeeder` using `updateOrCreate` keyed on
`(organisation_id, name)`. Organisations can deactivate seeded tags;
cannot delete (hidden flag `is_system_seed = true`).
---
## 13. Governance & compliance
### 13.1 PII-flagging
`form_fields.is_pii = true` marks a field as personal data. Effects:
- Included in PII-audit endpoint: `GET /organisations/{org}/forms/pii-fields`
- Treated as sensitive in exports (red border, extra confirmation)
- Subject to retention_days when set
- Displayed with PII-indicator icon in organiser UI
### 13.2 Retention policies
`form_schemas.retention_days` (nullable int). When set:
- Scheduled job `FormSubmissionRetentionJob` runs daily at 03:00
- Finds submissions where `submitted_at < NOW() - retention_days` AND
`is_test = false` AND `anonymised_at IS NULL`
- Calls FormSubmissionAnonymisationService (§13.3)
- Sends aggregate notification email to org_admin at end of run:
"{count} submissions anonymised today for organisation X"
### 13.3 Right-to-be-forgotten (anonymisation)
`FormSubmissionAnonymisationService::anonymise(FormSubmission)`:
- For each form_value of a submission:
- If field.is_pii: set value='[ANONYMISED]', value_indexed=null,
value_number/date/bool=null, value_anonymised=true
- If signature field: delete signature file, replace value with
`{anonymised: true}`
- If file_upload field: delete file, replace value with
`{anonymised: true, original_filename_redacted: true}`
- Set submission.anonymised_at = NOW()
- Clear submission.search_index
- Log activity log entries per field (one entry per anonymised field)
- Fire FormSubmissionAnonymised event
Called by:
- Admin action via `POST /form-submissions/{id}/anonymise` (org_admin only)
- Automatic retention job based on retention_days
- GDPR user-initiated deletion request (see §13.4)
### 13.4 Right-to-be-forgotten workflow (GDPR)
When a user requests data deletion (§31.2 integration contract):
1. All `form_submissions` where `subject_type = 'user'` AND
`subject_id = that_user` are anonymised
2. All `form_submissions` where `submitted_by_user_id = that_user`:
`submitted_by_user_id` → null; name/email copied to
public_submitter_* before clearing
3. `user_profiles` row deleted (cascade via FK)
4. `user_organisation_tags` for that user deleted
5. Activity log entries for that user anonymised (causer replaced with
"[deleted-user]" but action records preserved)
**GDPR export endpoint (§31.2):**
```
GET /api/v1/users/{user}/gdpr-export
```
Returns JSON with all user-owned data. Organiser-initiated via admin action,
or user-initiated via portal profile page. Format: JSON (v1). PDF export
deferred.
### 13.5 Consent tracking
`form_schemas.consent_version` — when a submission is made, the schema's
current consent_version is snapshotted into the submission's
schema_snapshot (if snapshot_mode != 'never') OR logged in activity log
at minimum. Organiser can demonstrate which consent text the submitter
accepted.
### 13.6 Test submissions
`form_submissions.is_test = true`:
- Excluded from all list/aggregate endpoints by default
- Excluded from retention policies (never anonymised)
- Excluded from export endpoints
- Accessible only via explicit `include_test=true` query param
- Created via "Test submission" button in form preview
- Do not fire webhooks
- Do not count toward `max_submissions` cap
Organiser can create test submissions without cluttering real data.
Test submissions are purged manually via a "Clear test data" action.
---
## 14. Schema lifecycle & versioning
Three independent mechanisms; each with a distinct purpose.
### 14.1 `form_schemas.version`
Always active. Integer, starts at 1, bumped on any schema-structural edit
(fields added/removed/reordered, required/optional changes, options
changes). Bump triggered by FormSchemaService on save. Used for:
- Detecting schema drift between current and submission-time state
- Generating ETags for caching
- Cache invalidation
Version bumps do NOT produce separate activity log entries when
`snapshot_mode=never` — the field-level activity log entries already cover
the actual change. When `snapshot_mode=on_submit` or `always`, the version
bump is logged for cross-reference with stored snapshots.
### 14.2 `form_schemas.snapshot_mode` + `form_submissions.schema_snapshot`
Controls whether and when full schema snapshots are stored per submission:
- `never` (default) — no snapshot; trust version number + audit log for history
- `on_submit` — snapshot stored when submission transitions to status=submitted
- `always` — snapshot stored on any save, including drafts
Used for high-stakes submissions (contracts, signature_receipt,
post_event_evaluation for regulatory retention). Trade-off: more storage,
but bulletproof audit trail.
Snapshot structure defined in §4.6.1.
### 14.3 `form_schemas.freeze_on_submit`
If true: once the schema has at least one submission with status=submitted,
the schema becomes read-only at the field-structure level. Labels/help_text
can still be edited (lightly); fields cannot be added, removed, or have
their type changed. Bypass requires elevated permission and creates a
loud audit log entry.
Complementary to version + snapshot, not overlapping: freeze_on_submit
prevents edits; version tracks them; snapshot preserves history.
### 14.4 Test/preview submissions
`form_submissions.is_test = true` for:
- Submissions created from form preview mode
- Submissions created with an `X-Crewli-Test-Mode: true` header
See §13.6 for test submission semantics.
### 14.5 [v1.2] Edit-lock mechanism
`form_schemas.edit_lock_user_id` + `edit_lock_expires_at` implement
pessimistic locking for collaborative editing:
- When organiser A opens the form-builder in edit mode: acquire lock with
`edit_lock_user_id = A`, `edit_lock_expires_at = now() + 10 minutes`
- Heartbeat: every 2 minutes while edit is open, extend
`edit_lock_expires_at` by another 10 minutes
- When organiser B tries to open the same schema in edit mode:
- If current lock expired: auto-release, B acquires
- If current lock still valid: 409 Conflict with holder's name + expiration time
- B can force-steal via explicit confirmation (creates audit log entry)
- On save/close: release lock
- On logout/connection loss: heartbeat stops, lock auto-expires
Frontend UX: lock banner shows "Schema wordt bewerkt door {naam} (nog {X}
minuten)" with "Vraag toegang" button that triggers force-steal flow.
### 14.6 [v1.2] Form preview mode
Preview endpoint:
```
GET /api/v1/organisations/{org}/form-schemas/{schema}/preview
```
Returns the schema in render-ready format with sample field values that
drive conditional_logic. No submission created; values are mocked
per-field-type (TEXT = "Lorem ipsum", SELECT = first option, etc.).
Frontend renders preview in a side-panel or separate route without the
normal submit flow (submit button disabled or replaced with "Dit is een
voorbeeld").
Organiser can toggle "Test mode" in preview — triggers actual submission
with `is_test=true` so they can verify the whole flow end-to-end.
---
## 15. Workflows & submission reviews
### 15.1 Simple review flow
Every submission supports review regardless of schema:
- `review_status` on form_submissions: null / pending_review / approved /
rejected / changes_requested
- Set via `POST /form-submissions/{id}/review` with body
`{ status, review_notes }`
- Fires FormSubmissionReviewed event
- Activity log records reviewer, decision, notes
### 15.2 Section-level submit (for advancing)
When `form_schemas.section_level_submit = true`:
- form_schema_sections define independent submit units
- form_submission_section_statuses track per-section state
- Each section has its own submit/review flow
- Section dependencies (`depends_on_section_id`) gate later sections until
earlier ones are approved
### 15.3 Delegation
For "Nina fills in my advance on my behalf":
- Subject grants delegation via `POST /form-submissions/{id}/delegate`
- Delegated user can view and edit that submission
- Delegator retains full control and can revoke
- Delegation audited via activity log
Note: delegation is per-submission, not per-schema. Organisers don't grant
delegations — subjects do.
### 15.4 Multi-step gating
Via `form_schema_sections.depends_on_section_id`. A section is locked
(read-only, clearly marked) until the dependency's section_status is
'approved'. Used for workflows like "finish general info first, then rider
details unlock".
### 15.5 [v1.2] Review workflow notifications
On status change:
- `pending_review` → notify org_admins (or event_managers if schema is
event-scoped) via CrewliMailable
- `approved` → notify submitter (if authenticated user) via CrewliMailable
- `rejected` / `changes_requested` → notify submitter with review_notes
in email
Notification flow is asynchronous via FormSubmissionReviewed event
listener `SendReviewNotificationListener`. Recipients configurable per
schema via `form_schemas.settings.review_notification_recipients`
(array of user_ids or role names).
---
## 16. Internationalisation
### 16.1 Per-field translations
`form_fields.translations` JSON:
```json
{
"en": {
"label": "T-shirt size",
"help_text": "What size do you wear?",
"options": ["XS", "S", "M", "L", "XL", "XXL"]
},
"de": {
"label": "T-Shirt Größe",
"help_text": "Welche Größe trägst du?",
"options": ["XS", "S", "M", "L", "XL", "XXL"]
}
}
```
If no translation exists for a locale, fallback applies (§16.2).
### 16.2 Locale fallback chain
`FormLocaleResolver` service determines the effective locale:
1. `submitter.locale` (if submitter is authenticated)
2. Explicit locale passed in request (via `Accept-Language` header)
3. `form_schemas.locale` (schema's primary locale)
4. App default locale (`config('app.locale')`)
Each field label/help_text/options resolved per-locale, with graceful
fallback to default-locale values when translation is missing.
### 16.3 Timezone handling
DATETIME values are stored as UTC ISO-8601. Display-time conversion to
submitter's timezone:
1. `users.timezone` (if authenticated)
2. `organisation.timezone`
3. App default (`config('app.timezone')`)
`submitted_in_locale` on form_submissions stores the locale used at
submit time for audit.
### 16.4 Runtime resolution deferred
For v1, translations column EXISTS but runtime locale resolution is
minimal (schema.locale + fallback only). Full per-field runtime swap is
deferred; v1 renders in the schema's primary locale with translations
column available for future activation.
---
## 17. Extensibility & integrations (webhooks, custom field types, custom purposes)
### 17.1 Laravel events
Every submission state change fires a Laravel event. Registered in
`EventServiceProvider`.
Submission lifecycle events:
- `FormSubmissionCreated(FormSubmission $submission)` — on insert
- `FormSubmissionDraftUpdated(FormSubmission $submission, array $changedFields)` — on draft save (rate-limited to once per 30s to prevent spam)
- `FormSubmissionSubmitted(FormSubmission $submission)` — status → submitted
- `FormSubmissionReviewed(FormSubmission $submission, string $outcome)` — review_status change
- `FormSubmissionAnonymised(FormSubmission $submission)` — on anonymisation
- `FormSubmissionArchived(FormSubmission $submission)` — status → archived
- `FormSubmissionDeleted(FormSubmission $submission)` — soft-deleted
- `FormSubmissionSectionSubmitted(FormSubmission, FormSchemaSection)` — section submit
- `FormSubmissionSectionReviewed(FormSubmission, FormSchemaSection, string $outcome)` — section review
Schema lifecycle events (optional, activity log covers most):
- `FormSchemaPublished(FormSchema $schema)`
- `FormSchemaUnpublished(FormSchema $schema)`
- `FormSchemaTokenRotated(FormSchema $schema)`
All events implement `ShouldBroadcast` so real-time UI updates are possible
in future iterations.
### 17.2 Custom field types
`CustomFieldTypeRegistry` allows extensions without core code changes:
```php
// config/form_builder.php
'custom_field_types' => [
'rich_text' => \App\FormFieldTypes\RichTextFieldHandler::class,
// ...
],
```
Each handler implements `CustomFieldTypeHandler` interface:
```php
interface CustomFieldTypeHandler
{
public function validateValue(mixed $value): ValidationResult;
public function transformForStorage(mixed $value): array;
public function transformForDisplay(array $storedValue): mixed;
public function getUISchema(): array; // tells frontend how to render
public function supportsFiltering(): bool;
public function getValueStorageHint(): ?string;
}
```
FormSchemaService uses the registry when validating field_type on create/
update. Built-in types are registered by default. Custom types extend the
list without code changes to core.
### 17.3 Purpose registry
The set of purposes served by the form builder is a closed, code-defined
vocabulary. There is no "custom purpose" escape. Organisations cannot
invent purposes at runtime. This is deliberate — purpose drives subject
handling, submission mode, public-access rules, pre-publish required
bindings, and downstream listeners; each of those needs explicit code
support.
**v1.0 vocabulary** (seven purposes, defined in
`config/form_builder/purposes.php`):
| Slug | Label (NL) | Subject type | Default submission mode | Public access | Required bindings |
|------|-----------|--------------|-------------------------|---------------|-------------------|
| `event_registration` | Aanmelding vrijwilligers/crew | person | single | yes | `person.email`, `person.first_name`, `person.last_name` |
| `artist_advance` | Artiest advance | artist | draft_single | no | — |
| `supplier_intake` | Leverancier intake | company | single | no | `company.name` |
| `post_event_evaluation` | Evaluatie na afloop | person | single | no | — |
| `incident_report` | Incident-melding | person | multiple | no | — |
| `signature_contract` | Contract-ondertekening | user | single | no | — |
| `user_profile` | Profiel-update | user | single | no | — |
`allows_public_access` is the schema-level public-submission flag.
Portal-token-based flows (artists, suppliers, press) are a different
mechanism and do not consume this flag.
**PurposeDefinition value object** (`app/FormBuilder/Purposes/
PurposeDefinition.php`) holds the five properties above plus the slug.
It is immutable (`final readonly`) and `subjectType` uses the morph
alias, not the FQCN.
**PurposeRegistry service** (`app/FormBuilder/Purposes/
PurposeRegistry.php`) reads the config file, memoises the parsed
definitions per instance, and exposes:
- `all()` — `array<slug, PurposeDefinition>`
- `get(string $slug)` — throws `PurposeNotFoundException` on miss
- `has(string $slug)` — bool
- `allSubjectTypes()` — sorted, unique list of subject-type aliases;
consumed by `AppServiceProvider::registerMorphMap()` (domain-subject
block) and by `StoreFormSubmissionRequest` validation
- `publicAccessibleSlugs()` — slugs whose schemas permit public
submission
`MorphMapAlignmentTest` guards the invariant that every subject_type
returned by `PurposeRegistry::allSubjectTypes()` is registered as a key
in `Relation::morphMap()`.
**Required-bindings pre-publish check.**
`FormSchemaService::publish()` fails with
`PurposeRequirementsNotMetException` (structured; `purposeSlug` +
`missingBindings[]`) if any binding path in the schema's
`PurposeDefinition::requiredBindings` is not present on at least one
field of the schema. The check queries the relational
`form_field_bindings` table directly (§6.7) — it assembles the set of
`{target_entity}.{target_attribute}` pairs across the schema's fields
and diffs them against `requiredBindings`. External contract
(`purposeSlug` + `missingBindings[]`) unchanged.
**Adding a new purpose.** In scope only via an architect-level decision:
1. Add a migration if existing schemas carry the new slug via data.
2. Add the new entry to `config/form_builder/purposes.php`.
3. If new subject type: register the FQCN in
`AppServiceProvider::PURPOSE_SUBJECT_FQCN`; `MorphMapAlignmentTest`
enforces this step.
4. Add listeners wired to `FormSubmissionSubmitted` as needed
(identity-match, tag sync, entity creation, etc.).
5. Add a lifecycle paragraph under §3.2 and a row to the table above.
### 17.4 Custom validation callbacks
`form_fields.validation_rules` JSON supports callback references:
```json
{
"callback": "App\\Services\\Validators\\KvkValidator@validate"
}
```
Registered callbacks in `config/form_builder.php`:
```php
'validation_callbacks' => [
'kvk_lookup' => \App\Services\Validators\KvkValidator::class,
// ...
],
```
Unregistered callbacks rejected at save time.
### 17.5 Webhooks
#### 17.5.1 Schema
See §4.11 `form_schema_webhooks` and §4.12 `form_webhook_deliveries`.
#### 17.5.2 Dispatcher
`FormWebhookDispatcher` listens for FormSubmissionSubmitted / Reviewed /
SectionSubmitted / SectionReviewed events. On trigger:
- Finds matching webhooks for the schema
- For each: creates a form_webhook_delivery row with status=pending
- Queues `DeliverFormWebhookJob` per delivery on dedicated `webhooks` queue
#### 17.5.3 Delivery job
`DeliverFormWebhookJob` on `webhooks` queue:
- Idempotent (Laravel job with unique ID per delivery)
- Timeout: 30s per attempt
- On execution:
- Builds payload (submission data + trigger_event + schema metadata)
- Signs with HMAC-SHA256 if webhook.secret is set, header:
`X-Crewli-Signature: sha256=...`
- POSTs to webhook.url with 10-second HTTP timeout
- On 2xx: updates delivery status=delivered, delivered_at=now()
- On retriable (5xx, timeout, network): exponential backoff (1m, 5m,
30m, 2h, 8h). Max 5 attempts.
- On non-retriable (4xx except 408/429): delivery status=failed, logged
- After all retries exhausted: status=dead_letter
Response body first 1000 chars stored in `response_body_excerpt` for
debugging.
#### 17.5.4 Security
URL validation in `FormWebhookDispatcher`:
- Parse URL; reject non-http(s)
- Resolve host; reject private IP ranges (10.x, 172.1631.x, 192.168.x,
127.x, 169.254.x — AWS metadata)
- Check allowlist if configured in
`config/form_builder.php.webhooks.allowlist_domains`
- Check blocklist; configurable IP ranges default to private + metadata
Admin UI shows validation status + last delivery attempt per webhook.
#### 17.5.5 Webhook payload format
```json
{
"event": "form_submission.submitted",
"triggered_at": "2026-04-17T14:23:11Z",
"organisation": {
"id": "01H...",
"name": "...",
"slug": "..."
},
"schema": {
"id": "01H...",
"purpose": "event_registration",
"slug": "...",
"version": 3
},
"submission": {
"id": "01H...",
"subject_type": "person",
"subject_id": "01H...",
"submitted_at": "2026-04-17T14:23:11Z",
"submitted_by_user_id": null,
"values": {
"shirtmaat": "M",
"dieetwensen": ["vegetarisch"],
...
}
}
}
```
PII fields are included in webhook payloads only if subscriber has been
acknowledged (future feature: per-webhook PII opt-in). For v1, PII is
sent — organisers warned during webhook creation.
---
## 18. Consistency & interaction rules
This section prevents components built in isolation from conflicting.
### 18.1 Schema evolution mechanisms
Three orthogonal mechanisms; never use them interchangeably:
- `schema_version` = MARKS edits (always active)
- `schema_snapshot` = BACKS UP state (per schema's snapshot_mode)
- `freeze_on_submit` = PREVENTS edits (after first submission)
Pairing guidance:
- Low-stakes forms (event_registration): `snapshot_mode=never, freeze_on_submit=false`
- Audited forms (incident_report): `snapshot_mode=on_submit, freeze_on_submit=true`
- Legal/contract forms (signature_contract): `snapshot_mode=on_submit, freeze_on_submit=true`
### 18.2 Hergebruik mechanisms
Three forms of reuse; distinct roles:
- `form_templates` = COMPLETE starting point for new schemas (apply → new
schema with copied fields)
- `form_field_library` = SINGLE reusable field definition (insert → new
form_field with reference)
- `schema_snapshot` = FROZEN copy for audit (auto-generated, not reused)
A template can reference library fields in its schema_snapshot; when the
template is applied, library fields are resolved to current library
definitions at that moment (denormalised into the resulting form_fields).
### 18.3 Role restrictions vs Pattern C interaction
Rule: `role_restrictions` gate what OTHER users see. A subject always sees
their own entity-owned or mirrored values. Example: a volunteer sees their
own emergency_contact_phone even if role_restrictions hide it from
organiser_members.
Validated by FieldAccessService: `canRead(user, field, submission)` returns
true when user.id == submission.subject_id (and subject_type is 'user' or
submission.subject is user's person) regardless of role_restrictions.
### 18.4 Auto-save vs is_test vs status
- Auto-save always produces submissions with `is_test=false` and status='draft'
- Test mode (form preview) produces submissions with `is_test=true` —
regardless of auto-save setting
- Status='draft' becomes 'submitted' only on explicit user submit, never
on auto-save
### 18.5 Events as backbone
Webhooks, activity log, analytics, emails, and all integrations attach as
LISTENERS on Laravel events. Never fire webhooks or log activity
ad-hoc inside services. Rule: if your service needs to trigger a side
effect on submission state change, add a listener to the relevant event.
This keeps services testable and the event graph discoverable.
### 18.6 System-internal vs form-rendered reads
Services that consume profile/person/artist data for internal purposes
(e.g., computing reliability_score, matching identity, sending briefings)
read DIRECTLY from entity tables (user_profiles, persons, etc.). They do
NOT go through form_fields/form_values.
The form layer is ONLY for:
- Rendering forms to end users (reading bindings to prefill)
- Accepting submissions (writing bindings back)
- Displaying submissions to organisers (rendering stored form_values)
This rule is enforced by architecture reviews.
---
## 19. Self-hosting principle ("eat your own dog food")
Wherever possible, internal Crewli forms are expressed through the form
builder itself. This is a test of universality: if our builder can't
produce our own configuration UIs, it's not universal enough.
Targets in v1:
- Onboarding wizard (FormPurpose::ONBOARDING_WIZARD) and
event_setup_wizard ARE self-hosted from day one — they exist in the
enum and are a test of universality.
---
## 20. Trade-offs & cost awareness
### 20.1 Performance contract
Pattern A lookups MUST be as fast as current direct-column lookups.
The form layer is NOT a performance tax on system-internal reads — see
§18.6. Pattern A bindings are documented, but services reading them
consume the entity table directly.
### 20.2 Testing strategy
The FormPurpose × pattern × field-type matrix is combinatorially large.
Pragmatic coverage:
- **Integration tests per FormPurpose**: happy path for each of the 22
purposes, minimum one test each
- **Unit tests per field type**: value transformation on read/write
- **Security invariant tests**: admin_only fields never leak,
role_restrictions enforced, SSRF blocked, binding-change-safeguard triggers
- **Migration rehearsal test**: fixture-based test replicating the §11.2
script on a seeded dataset
- **Integration contract tests**: per §31 contract, verify forms-to-other-
module handoffs work
Target: 95%+ coverage on FormSchemaService, FormSubmissionService,
FormValueService, FieldAccessService, FormLocaleResolver,
FormWebhookDispatcher.
### 20.3 Developer onboarding
A new developer should be able to:
- Understand "what is a form_schema" in under 10 minutes (TL;DR section)
- Create a new FormPurpose and wire up a schema in under 1 hour (with template)
- Add a custom field_type in under 4 hours (with CustomFieldTypeHandler example)
Quality gate: during implementation, write a
`/dev-docs/form-builder-getting-started.md` with code examples per common
scenario (new schema, new field type, new webhook, new subject type).
### 20.4 Migration risk
Mandatory rehearsal (§11.4) on dev DB copy before real migration.
Comparison script output is part of the migration approval gate.
---
## 21. Pre-flight audit gate
Every Claude Code session starts with this audit, BEFORE any code changes:
```bash
# 1. Migration files
find api/database/migrations -name "*volunteer_profile*" -o -name "*user_profile*"
# 2. Model classes
find api/app/Models -name "VolunteerProfile*" -o -name "UserProfile*"
# 3. Resources
find api/app/Http/Resources -name "VolunteerProfile*" -o -name "UserProfile*"
# 4. References
grep -rn "volunteer_profile\|VolunteerProfile\|user_profile\|UserProfile" \
api/app/ api/database/ --include="*.php"
# 5. Legacy column leakage
grep -rn "access_requirements\|tshirt_size\|first_aid\|driving_licence" \
api/database/migrations/
# 6. Git history
git log --oneline --all | grep -iE "volunteer.profile|user.profile|volunteer_profiles"
# 7. Working tree
git status
git diff
```
Report findings. Nothing found → proceed. Anything found → STOP, report,
wait for Bert's approval of proposed revert plan.
Audit is MANDATORY until the refactor completes and ARCH-FORM-BUILDER.md
is marked as "refactor complete". After that, the audit is removed from
session prompts.
---
## 22. Failure-mode resilience
### 22.1 Idempotency
Client-generated `idempotency_key` (ULID) in submission submit requests.
Backend: UNIQUE(form_schema_id, idempotency_key) partial where not null.
Duplicate request with same key is a no-op returning the original
submission.
### 22.2 Auto-save
When `form_schemas.auto_save_enabled=true`:
- Frontend debounces input at 2s; sends PUT on the draft submission
- Backend endpoint `PUT /form-submissions/{id}/auto-save` accepts partial
payloads (only changed fields)
- Increments `auto_save_count` for debugging
- Does not fire FormSubmissionDraftUpdated event on every auto-save
(rate-limited to one event per 30s per submission) to prevent webhook
storms
- On auto-save failure: client retains local-storage backup and retries.
Max 3 retry attempts with exponential backoff, then UI shows
"Kon niet opslaan — probeer handmatig" warning.
### 22.3 Binding-change safeguard
See §6.5.
### 22.4 Audit trail
- `form_schemas.created_by_user_id`, `last_updated_by_user_id`
- Activity log on form_schemas, form_fields, form_submissions
- Webhook deliveries logged with payload snapshots
### 22.5 Webhook security
See §17.5.4. SSRF prevention, allowlist/blocklist, timeouts.
### 22.6 File upload security
For FILE_UPLOAD / IMAGE_UPLOAD field types:
- Server-side MIME type validation (never trust client)
- Default allowed MIMEs in
`config/form_builder.php.file_uploads.default_allowed_mime_types`
- Per-field override via validation_rules.allowed_mime_types
- Size cap default 5MB, per-field override via validation_rules.max_size_mb
- Stored under `{storage_disk}/form-uploads/{submission_id}/{ulid}.{ext}`
- Filename sanitised; original name stored as metadata only
Storage disk: `config('filesystems.default')` by default. Per-field
override: `validation_rules.storage_disk`.
### 22.7 Soft limits
`config/form_builder.php`:
```php
return [
'limits' => [
'max_fields_per_schema' => 100,
'max_filterable_fields_per_schema' => 20,
'max_options_per_field' => 100,
'max_submissions_per_public_schema_per_ip_per_hour' => 5,
],
'webhooks' => [
'allowlist_domains' => [],
'blocklist_ips' => ['127.0.0.0/8', '10.0.0.0/8', '172.16.0.0/12',
'192.168.0.0/16', '169.254.169.254/32'],
'timeout_seconds' => 10,
'max_attempts' => 5,
],
'file_uploads' => [
'default_allowed_mime_types' => ['image/jpeg', 'image/png', 'image/webp',
'application/pdf'],
'default_max_size_mb' => 5,
],
'search_index' => [
'max_chars' => 10000,
],
'captcha' => [
'provider' => 'turnstile',
'required_for_purposes' => ['public_complaint', 'public_press_request'],
],
'public_submitter_ip_retention_days' => 30,
'user_profile_settings_whitelist' => [
'ui.theme', 'ui.sidebar_collapsed', 'ui.time_format',
'notifications.email_digest', 'notifications.shift_reminders',
'notifications.event_updates',
],
'custom_field_types' => [],
'validation_callbacks' => [],
];
```
Violations rejected at Form Request validation layer with clear error
messages.
### 22.8 Destructive operations
Deleting a schema with submissions requires typed confirmation
(organiser types the schema name). Deleting a field with values requires
same. Confirmation flow implemented in frontend; backend accepts
`?confirmed_name=<n>` query param.
### 22.9 Admin-only field leak prevention
Test class `FormResourceSecurityTest` covers:
- For each FormPurpose, a submission is fetched by non-admin user
- Assert admin_only fields are not in the response
- Applied to both list and detail endpoints
- Run as part of CI
### 22.10 [v1.2] Queue configuration
Dedicated queues for form-builder jobs:
```php
// config/queue.php — add
'connections' => [
'webhooks' => [
'driver' => 'redis',
'queue' => 'webhooks',
'retry_after' => 120,
'block_for' => null,
],
],
```
Jobs and their queues:
- `DeliverFormWebhookJob` → `webhooks` queue (dedicated, can be throttled
separately)
- `FormSubmissionRetentionJob` → `default` queue (daily schedule)
- `BackfillFormValueIndexedJob` → `default` queue (on is_filterable toggle)
- `RebuildSearchIndexJob` → `default` queue (on is_filterable or binding change)
Frontend event broadcasts (Reverb/Pusher) use their own broadcast queue.
---
## 23. Observability & analytics hooks
### 23.1 Timestamps for funnel analytics
- `opened_at` — first GET on the form (or first frontend render)
- `first_interacted_at` — first field interaction (focus or input)
- `submitted_at` — status → submitted
- `submission_duration_seconds` = submitted_at - opened_at (populated on
submit)
### 23.2 Universal text search
`form_submissions.search_index` populated by an observer on form_values
save. Concatenates all text-type values of a submission (TEXT, TEXTAREA,
EMAIL, PHONE, URL, SELECT, RADIO option labels) into a space-separated
text field. Indexed with MySQL FULLTEXT.
Max chars configurable (default 10000). Truncated with ellipsis.
For drafts: rebuilt on every form_values save. For submissions: frozen at
submit (no further updates unless value changes).
### 23.3 Activity log depth
- form_schemas: create, update (label/field additions/removals), delete,
duplicate, version bumps, lock/unlock
- form_fields: create, update (with old/new binding, old/new
is_filterable, old/new role_restrictions), delete
- form_submissions: create, status changes, review changes, delegate,
anonymise, delete
- form_templates: create, update, activate/deactivate
- form_field_library: create, update, activate/deactivate
Activity log entries for webhook deliveries NOT added (they have their
own audit table `form_webhook_deliveries`).
### 23.4 [v1.2] Anonymisation audit
Each anonymised field produces a SEPARATE activity log entry:
```json
{
"log_name": "form_value",
"description": "field.anonymised",
"subject_type": "FormValue",
"subject_id": 12345,
"properties": {
"field_slug": "emergency_contact_phone",
"reason": "retention_policy",
"original_was_pii": true
},
"causer_type": "System",
"causer_id": null
}
```
Rationale: field-level audit dichtheid matters for GDPR compliance demos.
---
## 24. Access control per field
### 24.1 `form_fields.role_restrictions` JSON
```json
{
"read": {
"any_of_roles": ["org_admin", "event_manager"]
},
"write": {
"any_of_roles": ["org_admin"]
}
}
```
Operators on roles:
- `any_of_roles`: user needs at least one listed role
- `all_of_roles`: user needs all listed roles
- `not_roles`: user must not have any listed role
- `subject_self`: true → the subject themselves always has access (overrides
other rules)
If `role_restrictions` is null: defaults to
`{ read: true, write: { any_of_roles: ["org_admin", "event_manager"] } }`
for is_admin_only=false fields, and stricter for is_admin_only=true.
### 24.2 FieldAccessService
```php
class FieldAccessService
{
public function canRead(User $user, FormField $field, FormSubmission $submission): bool;
public function canWrite(User $user, FormField $field, FormSubmission $submission): bool;
public function filterVisibleFields(User $user, Collection $fields, FormSubmission $submission): Collection;
}
```
Used by:
- FormResource / FormSubmissionResource when rendering API responses
(hides invisible fields)
- FormValueService when accepting submits (rejects writes to fields user
can't write)
- FilterQueryBuilder when applying filters (rejects filters on invisible
fields with 403)
- Form-builder UI (hides disallowed actions)
### 24.3 Test coverage
`FieldAccessServiceTest` and `FormResourceSecurityTest` ensure:
- Per role, correct fields visible/editable
- Subject-self always has access
- Cross-org attempts blocked
- `role_restrictions=null` defaults applied consistently
---
## 25. Self-hosting reservations (FormPurpose slots)
FormPurpose enum values reserved for future self-hosting (not implemented
in v1.2):
- `schema_editor` — would host the "create/edit form_schema" form as a
form itself
- `field_editor` — would host the "create/edit form_field" form as a form
When these become implemented, they demonstrate §19 (self-hosting) by
making the builder's own UI a form defined through the builder.
---
## 26. Open questions / deferred decisions
- **Analytics dashboards** — drop-off detection, A/B testing, completion
rate dashboards. Telemetry client-side required. Deferred.
- **Marketplace templates** — sharing templates between orgs. Deferred.
- **AI-generated schemas** — LLM scaffolding of form definitions. Deferred.
- **Org-specific bindable columns** — orgs adding custom columns on
user_profile and binding to them. Needs a schema-extension subsystem.
Deferred.
- **Bulk-edit values** — "set dietary_preference=null for all persons".
UX-heavy, needs audit. Deferred.
- **Schema-editor self-hosting** — see §25. Deferred to a future phase.
- **Realtime collaborative editing** — multiple editors with live cursors.
Current v1.2 uses pessimistic locks (§14.5 edit_lock_*). Deferred to
later phase with CRDT.
- **PDF export of submissions** — deferred to PDF module.
- **Print layouts** — deferred to PDF module.
- **Per-webhook PII opt-out** — webhooks always receive PII in v1.
Deferred.
---
## 27. Out of scope for this refactor
- Workflow / approval escalation chains beyond the simple review flow
- Notifications on submit/update beyond core integrations (advanced
notification preferences UI)
- PDF export of submissions (PDF module)
- Rich-text TipTap-based fields (TIPTAP field type comes in a later phase)
- Client-side field-by-field drop-off analytics
- A/B testing of schema variants
- Email bounce verification for public submissions
- Legal signature-verification service (exists as stub in v1.2; UI deferred)
---
## 28. [v1.2] User guidance principles
This section defines the non-negotiable UX standards for form-builder
features. No feature ships without complying with all five principles.
### 28.1 Every decision-impacting control has contextual help
Controls that change system behaviour in non-obvious ways must have an
icon-triggered tooltip or inline explanation. Examples:
- **`is_filterable` toggle** — tooltip: "Dit veld wordt extra geïndexeerd
voor snelle filtering in overzichten. Alleen aanvinken voor velden die je
daadwerkelijk als filter gebruikt."
- **`is_pii` toggle** — tooltip: "Dit veld bevat persoonsgegevens. Bij
retentie-verwerking worden deze waardes geanonimiseerd."
- **`freeze_on_submit` toggle** — tooltip: "Na de eerste ingediende
submissie kunnen de velden niet meer gewijzigd worden. Gebruik dit voor
contracten of audit-kritieke formulieren."
- **`snapshot_mode` dropdown** — per optie een korte uitleg in de
dropdown zelf.
- **`retention_days` input** — tooltip: "Na deze periode worden
PII-velden geanonimiseerd. Vraag bij twijfel je privacy-officer om advies."
Rule of thumb: **if an organiser has to guess what a toggle does, it's a
bug in the UX**.
### 28.2 Every destructive action has a preview or confirmation
Actions that cannot be undone (or are painful to undo) require either:
- A preview showing consequences before the action, OR
- A typed-confirmation dialog (user types the item name)
Destructive actions in scope:
- Delete schema with submissions → typed confirmation
- Delete field with values → typed confirmation
- Change field's binding when submissions exist → preview showing
"X submissions will be orphaned" + typed confirmation
- Rotate public_token → preview showing grace period
- Anonymise submission manually → typed confirmation
- Change field_type (changes storage format) → preview + typed confirmation
Preview structure:
1. What will happen (list)
2. How many records affected
3. Whether action is reversible (and how)
4. Typed confirmation input if irreversible
### 28.3 Schema preview before publishing
Organiser can preview a schema at any time:
- As each supported user role (volunteer, organiser admin, etc.)
- In each locale (if translations exist)
- With sample data driving conditional_logic
- On mobile + desktop viewport
Preview button is prominently visible in form-builder UI, not hidden in a
menu. Published schemas show a "Bekijk live formulier" link in the same
place.
### 28.4 Onboarding for new features
Any new major feature (e.g., webhooks, section-level submit, custom
field types) includes onboarding:
- First-time dialog when the feature is accessed, explaining it briefly
- Link to full VitePress documentation
- Dismissible with "Niet meer tonen" checkbox — preference stored in
`user_profiles.settings`
### 28.5 In-app documentation links
Every complex screen has a link to the relevant VitePress documentation:
- Form-builder UI → `/docs/organizer/forms/form-builder-overview`
- Webhook configuration → `/docs/organizer/forms/webhooks`
- Retention policies → `/docs/organizer/forms/privacy-and-retention`
- Field library → `/docs/organizer/forms/reusable-fields`
- Section-level submit → `/docs/organizer/forms/advancing-forms`
Links open in new tab, marked with external-link icon.

## 29. [v1.2] Documentation coverage requirements per session
Every S1-S6 session MUST ship VitePress documentation alongside the code.
Documentation is not an afterthought; it is part of Definition of Done.
### 29.1 Per-session docs requirement
Each implementation session delivers documentation covering:
- **User-facing feature** — what the feature is, in organiser's language
- **How-to guide** — step-by-step for the most common use-case
- **Reference** — every configuration option explained
- **Edge cases** — what happens in error conditions
Session cannot be marked complete until corresponding docs are reviewed
and committed.
### 29.2 Documentation targets per session
Mapping of ARCH sections to docs pages (written during S1-S6):
| ARCH section | VitePress page | Session |
|---|---|---|
| §3 FormPurpose | `/docs/organizer/forms/what-is-a-form-purpose` | S3 |
| §4 Core tables | (developer-only, `/dev-docs/form-builder-getting-started.md`) | S1 |
| §5 FormFieldType | `/docs/organizer/forms/field-types` | S3 |
| §6 Field binding | `/docs/organizer/forms/binding-and-entity-columns` | S3 |
| §7 Filter architecture | `/docs/organizer/forms/filtering-submissions` | S4 |
| §8 Conditional logic | `/docs/organizer/forms/conditional-logic` | S3 |
| §9 Signature | `/docs/organizer/forms/signatures-and-contracts` | S3 |
| §10 Public tokens | `/docs/organizer/forms/public-forms` | S3 |
| §13 Governance | `/docs/organizer/forms/privacy-and-retention` | S2 |
| §14 Schema lifecycle | `/docs/organizer/forms/versioning-and-snapshots` | S2 |
| §15 Workflows | `/docs/organizer/forms/reviews-and-delegation` | S4 |
| §17.5 Webhooks | `/docs/organizer/forms/webhooks` | S5 |
### 29.3 Migration-specific docs
Before the data migration runs (end of S1), publish:
- `/docs/organizer/forms/migration-what-changes.md` — user-facing changelog
- `/dev-docs/form-builder-migration-playbook.md` — developer runbook
### 29.4 Copy catalogue as living document
`/dev-docs/COPY_CATALOGUE.md` is maintained across all sessions — see §30.
### 29.5 Quality gate
Docs reviewer checks:
- No jargon without explanation
- Screenshots of the UI where applicable (Cursor/Claude generates, Bert
validates in manual verification)
- "Als je vastloopt..." troubleshooting section
- Link in in-app help menu (§28.5)

## 30. [v1.2] In-app copy catalogue (living seed)
A single source of truth for user-facing Dutch copy used in form-builder
UI. Stored in `/dev-docs/COPY_CATALOGUE.md` and used as reference for
frontend implementation.
Rationale: prevents inconsistent terminology ("Dienst" vs "Shift" vs
"Taak") and centralises warnings/tooltips so they can be edited in one
place.
### 30.1 Naming conventions
| Concept | Canonical Dutch term | Never use |
|---|---|---|
| `form_schema` | Formulier | Schema, template |
| `form_field` | Veld | Vraag, item |
| `form_template` | Formulier-sjabloon | Template (alleen in dev-docs) |
| `form_field_library` | Veldenbibliotheek | Library, bibliotheek alleen |
| `form_submission` | Inzending | Submission, antwoord |
| `is_filterable` | Filterbaar | Queryable, zoekbaar |
| `is_pii` | Bevat persoonsgegevens | Privacy-gevoelig |
| `freeze_on_submit` | Bevriezen na inzending | Vergrendelen |
| `consent_version` | Toestemmingsversie | Consent-versie |
### 30.2 Tooltip catalogue (selection)
```
is_filterable:
"Filterbaar — dit veld wordt extra geïndexeerd voor snelle filtering
in overzichten. Alleen aanvinken voor velden die je daadwerkelijk als
filter gebruikt (bijvoorbeeld: shirtmaat wel, motivatie niet)."
is_pii:
"Bevat persoonsgegevens — bij retentie-verwerking worden deze waardes
geanonimiseerd volgens je privacy-instellingen. Vink aan voor velden
zoals telefoon, e-mail, noodcontact, medische info."
is_unique:
"Uniek per formulier — waardes van dit veld moeten uniek zijn over alle
inzendingen heen. Geschikt voor bijvoorbeeld BSN of werknemersnummer.
Dubbele waardes worden afgewezen."
freeze_on_submit:
"Bevriezen na eerste inzending — zodra iemand het formulier indient
kunnen de velden niet meer gewijzigd worden. Gebruik dit voor
contracten, signatures, of formulieren waar de structuur vast moet
staan voor audit-doeleinden."
snapshot_mode:
never: "Geen snapshot — wijzigingen worden alleen in het activity log
bijgehouden."
on_submit: "Snapshot bij inzending — bij elke indiening wordt het
complete formulier gesnapshot voor audit-doeleinden."
always: "Altijd snapshot — elke wijziging (ook drafts) wordt
gesnapshot. Gebruikt meer opslag maar biedt het volledige
audit-spoor."
retention_days:
"Bewaartermijn — na deze periode (vanaf inzendingsdatum) worden
PII-velden automatisch geanonimiseerd. Typische waardes: 1095 dagen
(3 jaar) voor vrijwilligers, 2555 dagen (7 jaar) voor contracten,
null voor onbeperkt bewaren."
```
### 30.3 Warning catalogue (selection)
```
binding_change_with_submissions:
"Je staat op het punt de koppeling van dit veld te wijzigen terwijl er
al {count} ingediende inzendingen zijn. De historische waardes blijven
bestaan, maar zijn niet meer de bron-van-waarheid. Dit kan niet
ongedaan worden gemaakt."
delete_schema_with_submissions:
"Dit formulier heeft {count} inzendingen. Als je het verwijdert, blijven
de inzendingen bewaard als archief maar zijn niet meer nieuw in te
dienen. Type de naam van het formulier om te bevestigen:"
field_type_change:
"Je wijzigt het veldtype van {old} naar {new}. Bestaande waardes worden
mogelijk niet correct omgezet — sommige kunnen onleesbaar worden.
Aanbevolen: maak een nieuw veld aan in plaats van dit veld te
wijzigen."
public_token_rotation:
"Je roteert de publieke link voor dit formulier. Bestaande gebruikers
kunnen nog 7 dagen inzenden met de oude link; daarna krijgen ze een
410 Gone foutmelding."
```
### 30.4 Maintenance
Copy catalogue is updated in every session that adds new UI:
- Check existing terms before creating new
- Propose new terms to COPY_CATALOGUE.md
- Bert reviews before merge

## 31. [v1.2] Integration contracts
The form builder does not operate in isolation. Other modules produce or
consume form submissions, and these interactions must be contract-defined
to prevent ad-hoc coupling.
### 31.1 Person Identity Matching integration
**Trigger:** `FormSubmissionSubmitted` event where
`form_schema.purpose == 'event_registration'` and submission is public OR
the submitter's user_id is not already linked to a person.
**Listener:** `TriggerIdentityMatchOnRegistration`
**Contract:**
```
Input: FormSubmission with subject_type=person (or null for public pre-
submission).
Behaviour: Call PersonIdentityService::detectMatches($person) per
existing logic. Service creates person_identity_matches rows
with status=pending.
Does NOT auto-confirm. Auto-linking is explicitly forbidden —
organiser must confirm.
Output: No direct return. Side-effect: potential person_identity_matches
rows.
```
**Failure mode:** if PersonIdentityService throws, listener logs at error
level and does NOT fail the FormSubmission event propagation (other
listeners continue).
### 31.2 GDPR delete workflow integration
**Trigger:** User account deletion (existing flow in UserController::destroy
or dedicated GDPR-delete endpoint).
**Contract:**
```
Input: User about to be deleted.
Behaviour (in order):
1. For every form_submission where subject_type='user' AND
subject_id=that_user: call FormSubmissionAnonymisationService::anonymise
2. For every form_submission where submitted_by_user_id=that_user
AND subject_type != 'user' (i.e., user submitted for others or anonymous):
clear submitted_by_user_id → null; copy user.name/email to
public_submitter_name/public_submitter_email; set
public_submitter_ip_anonymised_at = now().
3. Delete user_profiles row (cascade via FK on user_id).
4. Delete user_organisation_tags rows for this user.
5. Anonymise activity_log entries where causer_id=that_user: replace
causer_name with "[deleted-user]" but preserve log integrity.
Output: User fully disconnected from form-related data while audit trail
preserved.
```
**Transactional:** all steps wrapped in DB transaction. If any step fails,
rollback; user deletion is also rolled back.
**GDPR export endpoint:**
```
GET /api/v1/users/{user}/gdpr-export
Response: 200 OK with Content-Type: application/json
{
"user": { ... core user attributes ... },
"user_profile": { ... user_profiles row ... },
"tags": [ ... user_organisation_tags ... ],
"submissions": [
{
"schema": { "slug", "purpose", "organisation_name" },
"values": { ... form_values keyed by field slug ... },
"submitted_at": "...",
"status": "..."
}
]
}
```
Access: user themselves OR org_admin of any org the user is a member of.
Format: JSON (v1). PDF export deferred.
### 31.3 Shift assignments integration
**Trigger:** `FormSubmissionSubmitted` where schema purpose is
`event_registration` AND submission contains AVAILABILITY_PICKER field
values.
**Listener:** `CreateProvisionalShiftAssignmentsFromRegistration`
**Contract:**
```
Input: FormSubmission with subject_type=person, AVAILABILITY_PICKER
values (array of time_slot_id ULIDs), and optionally SECTION_PRIORITY
values.
Behaviour:
1. For each time_slot_id in AVAILABILITY_PICKER value:
- Find shifts within that time_slot that match person's crowd_type
- If person has section priorities: prefer shifts in priority sections
- Create ShiftAssignment with status='claim_pending'
- Do NOT auto-confirm; requires organiser approval
2. For each SECTION_PRIORITY value: upsert row in
person_section_preferences (existing table).
Output: ShiftAssignments in claim_pending status. Organiser sees them in
the standard shift-assignments approval queue.
```
**Cancellation flow:** when a person submits an `absence_report` form
(§3.2.13), the listener `HandleAbsenceReport` flips affected
ShiftAssignment.status → cancelled with
cancellation_source='volunteer_absence'.
### 31.4 Email notifications integration
Form-builder uses the existing CrewliMailable + email-template
infrastructure (built April 2026).
**Mailables used:**
| Event | Mailable | Template |
|---|---|---|
| FormSubmissionSubmitted (event_registration) | `RegistrationConfirmation` | `registration_confirmation` |
| FormSubmissionReviewed (approved) | `SubmissionApproved` | `submission_approved` |
| FormSubmissionReviewed (rejected/changes_requested) | `SubmissionNeedsAttention` | `submission_needs_attention` |
| FormSubmissionSubmitted (pending review) | `ReviewPending` | `review_pending` |
| Retention job run | `RetentionReport` (aggregated, daily) | `retention_report` |
| Incident report (kritiek ernst) | `CriticalIncidentAlert` | `critical_incident_alert` |
| Post-event evaluation trigger | `EvaluationInvitation` | `evaluation_invitation` |
**Contract:**
```
All listeners use Mail::queue (not Mail::send) to avoid blocking the
event dispatch. Mailables respect org-level branding config (logo,
primary_color, sender_name, reply_to, footer_text).
```
**Template override:** orgs can override default templates via existing
org-level email-template management UI.
### 31.5 Code-of-conduct gating integration
**Trigger:** any shift-claim attempt (existing endpoint
`POST /portal/shifts/{shift}/claim`).
**Check:** before accepting the claim, verify:
```
Does a form_submission exist where
form_schema.purpose = 'signature_code_of_conduct' AND
subject_type = 'person' AND
subject_id = claimer_person_id AND
status = 'submitted' AND
form_schema.organisation_id = current_organisation_id ?
```
If NO: reject claim with 422 "Je moet eerst de gedragscode tekenen".
Response includes link to the code-of-conduct form URL.
If YES: accept claim.
Implementation: in `ShiftClaimService::canClaim()`.
### 31.6 Supplier intake / production_requests integration
**Trigger:** organiser creates a `production_requests` row (existing
infrastructure) with `company_id` and selects a form_schema of purpose
`supplier_intake`.
**Behaviour:**
- form_schema's public_token is created/reused
- production_request.token is generated (existing logic)
- Supplier receives email with URL combining both tokens:
`{APP_URL}/f/{public_token}?pr={production_request.token}`
- When supplier opens URL: both tokens validated, submission created with
subject_type=company, subject_id=production_request.company_id
### 31.7 Accreditation engine integration (ARCH-07, future)
Reserved contract for when accreditation engine lands:
- When `signature_receipt` submissions are created: attached accreditation
items from ARCH-07's `accreditation_items` are listed in the submission
as pre-filled TABLE_ROWS values
- When `check_out_inventory` submissions are reviewed as complete:
accreditation_item.returned_at is updated per item
Exact contract TBD when ARCH-07 implementation starts. v1.2 leaves the
hooks in place (purpose enum values exist, no code integration yet).
### 31.8 Crowd list integration
**Trigger:** `FormSubmissionSubmitted` where purpose=event_registration
AND submission results in a new Person being created.
**Listener:** `AddPersonToApplicableCrowdListsOnRegistration`
**Contract:**
```
Input: FormSubmission with subject_type=person (new person).
Behaviour:
1. Fetch crowd_lists where organisation_id matches AND
crowd_list.auto_add_criteria matches the new person (e.g.,
crowd_type matches).
2. For each matching crowd_list: add person via existing
CrowdListService::addPerson.
3. Crowd_lists without auto_add_criteria are ignored (manual
management).
Output: person_crowd_list pivot rows for applicable lists.
```
**Crewli Context:** Crowd lists are optional organizational tools, not
mandatory gatekeepers. Not every registration needs a crowd list
membership.
### 31.9 Integration contract tests
Every contract in §31.1-31.8 has a corresponding integration test in
`tests/Feature/FormBuilder/Integration/`:
- `IdentityMatchTriggerTest`
- `GdprDeleteCascadeTest`
- `ShiftAssignmentFromRegistrationTest`
- `EmailNotificationFlowTest`
- `CodeOfConductGatingTest`
- `SupplierIntakeFlowTest`
- `CrowdListAutoAddTest`
Tests are part of CI. Contract changes require test updates (and this
ARCH section update) before merge.
### 31.10 Tag sync integration (BACKLOG FORM-02)
Replaces the S1-era `TagSyncService` that read the legacy
`person_field_values` table. Purged in S2a; rebuilt in S2b against the
new FormBuilder.
**Contract (authoritative):**
```
Trigger: FormSubmissionSubmitted event where
form_schema.purpose = 'event_registration' AND
submission.subject_type = 'person' AND
submission contains at least one TAG_PICKER form_value.
Listener: SyncTagPickerSelectionsOnSubmit
Behaviour:
1. Resolve the Person from submission.subject_id.
2. If person.user_id is null → no-op (log at info, tag sync will
trigger on future identity link).
3. Call FormTagSyncService::rebuildForPerson($person).
4. Never mutates organiser_assigned tags. Only rebuilds
source = self_reported to match the union of TAG_PICKER values
across that person's submitted event_registration submissions.
Re-trigger on identity link: PersonIdentityService::confirmMatch must,
after setting person.user_id, call FormTagSyncService::rebuildForPerson
($person). This is the deferred sync path for persons who filled in
TAG_PICKER fields before their user account was linked.
Failure mode: listener logs at error level and does NOT fail the event
propagation (other listeners — e.g. §31.3 shift provisioning, §31.1
identity matching, §31.8 crowd list auto-add — must still run).
Idempotent: safe to run multiple times for the same person.
```
**Call site removed in S2a:** `PersonController::approve()` and
`PersonIdentityService::syncRegistrationTags()` used to call
`TagSyncService::syncFromRegistration($person)` directly. The rebuilt
flow is listener-driven plus the targeted call inside
`PersonIdentityService::confirmMatch` — no ad-hoc cross-module coupling.
