# Input Forms

## Custom manage data input. 

iCure enables the owner to determine data input structure through custom forms. This way: 

* BI solutions can be easily implemented on top of the database, as data is structured by design.
* End-to-end encryption can be maintained through the whole input process, as data are being anonymized through encryption from the start of the Data Life-Cycle.
* [Access Rights Management](/icure/icure-data-stack/rights-management.md) policies automatically assign the relevant data to the respective department. 
* Auditing is also made easy, as Data are timestamped, signed by the user, and data-versioning is supported.

## Input Form Syntax

Despite the encryption, timestamping and access rights management challenges, the Input forms are quite easy to manage with a typical YAML syntax

```yaml
