Design any form, report, or certificate — without writing a line of code.
Every organization's paperwork is different. Your Certificate of Analysis doesn't look like anyone else's. Your project review template captures different data than your competitor's. Your sample entry form has fields specific to your product type, your testing methodology, and your regulatory requirements. A platform that forces you into its pre-built forms is asking you to change how you document your work — which means changing how you think about your work.
The alternative — custom development for every form — is expensive and slow. A new test method means a developer ticket, a sprint, a deployment. By the time the form is ready, the scientist has been working in Excel for weeks. The longer the gap between 'I need a new form' and 'the form exists in the system,' the more data gets captured outside the system — defeating the purpose of having a system at all.
No-code form design means that the people who understand the science — lab managers, quality leads, process engineers — can create and modify the data capture templates themselves. The platform becomes a living, breathing reflection of current practice rather than a fossilized snapshot of what practice looked like when the system was first implemented.
Athena's Master Template Designer is a visual, no-code tool for building data-capture forms, report layouts, and certificate templates. Drag and drop fields — text, number, date, dropdown, table, rich text, image, calculated — into sections. Define validation rules, conditional visibility, and formula calculations. Preview the result instantly.
Templates are versioned. When you update a form, existing records retain their original template version — so historical data is always readable in the context it was captured. New records use the latest version. This means you can evolve your forms continuously without breaking historical integrity.
The same template engine powers sample forms, task data capture, project metadata sections, and PDF/report generation. Design once, use everywhere the platform renders structured data — on screen, in PDF, in exports. A Certificate of Analysis template, once designed, generates itself from approved sample data without manual assembly.
Templates feed the Laboratory module (sample forms), Task module (task data capture), Project module (metadata sections), and the PDF Engine (certificates, reports). All using the same designer, the same rendering engine.
Every module is configured to your process — your terminology, your workflows, your approval chains. Login to explore how Athena works for your organization.
