hello @nitingoel82, that’s an interesting use case and is easily achievable with Tulip. I will show how you can create the interface to collect User inputs. regarding the storage, would you like it stored in an a SQL Database or will a Tulip Table work??

here’s the guide to create the interface.

1. add Static Text describing what the Users are inputting:

2. add Text Inputs and Camera Inputs where the users can enter the information:

3. link these Inputs to Variables (or a Table Record if that’s where you’d like it stored)

if you could let us know where you’d like to store this data, I can share some information on how to do so, but this article may be useful if you’d like it stored in a Tulip Table: [How To Modify Tables Within the App Editor | Tulip Help Center - Support for Building Manufacturing Apps](https://support.tulip.co/en/articles/2989793-how-to-modify-tables-within-the-app-editor)
