[Authorize your mobile workers to access the Field Service Mobile app](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=sf.mfs_perms_standard.htm&language=en_US) by assigning the right user license and permissions. 3. [Enable Discovery Framework](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=ind.discovery_framework_prerequisites.htm&language=en_US). 4.

[Create assessment questions](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=ind.fsc_admin_create_questions.htm&language=en_US) that can easily integrate with forms used by mobile workers in the Field Service mobile app. Assessment questions are the backbone of a structured questionnaire that captures specific and consistent information during service appointments. You can create parent-child questions and reuse questions with version control across multiple forms. See [Discovery Framework Data Capture Flow Question Types](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=service.mfs_df_data_capture_question_types.htm&release=264.0.0&type=5 "Discovery Framework-Based Data Capture forms supports only specific data types in the questions that you create.

The Form junction object links a parent record with a form you build in Flow Builder. 1. From Setup, in the Quick Find box, enter Object Manager, and then select **Object Manager**. 2. Select the object whose actions you want to manage, and in the Page Layouts section, select a page layout where you want to add the Form tab. 3. Click **Related Lists**, and then drag forms to your page layout. 4. Save your changes. Now you’re ready to create and assign Discovery Framework-based data capture forms. ![Important](https://sf-zdocs-cdn-prod.zoominsoftware.com/tdta-service-support_field_service-264-0-0-production-enus/3f7dceb9-dd70-454a-b49e-bbb4526a158d/images/icon_important.png) Important By default, the fields in the Form junction object can be seen and changed for the Standard User, System Administrator, Contract Manager, Solution Manager, and Marketing User standard profiles.
