If certain sections in a record form only need to appear when they meet specific conditions, this can easily be enabled in the database's form template utilising the conditional display feature.
This conditional display logic means that the section will only appear once a specific value has been entered or selected by the user in a previous field.
Example Scenario
For instance, a condition could be based upon a Select > Checkbox field with a Yes or No answer. If 'Yes' is selected, another section of information needs to be filled in and will appear directly beneath. If 'No' is selected, that section will not appear as it does not meet the condition set and the user will continue to fill out the form as usual.
Setting Up Your Conditions
To enable conditional logic like the example above, you can use the following steps:
| 1Create a new section, adding a section title if required |
| 2Go to the Conditions tab |
| 3Enable the checkbox setting with the label: Only show this section if conditions are met |
| 4Click Add to select the field and related value(s) that need to be selected by the user before this section can appear |
| 5Click Save & Next to apply this change to your form |
You can view an example of how to do this below.
You can add multiple conditions to suit your needs by clicking the Add button under the first condition entered.
Conditional Section Display on the Record
Using the example conditions set up in the form above, you can view an example below of what the user will experience when filling out their record. If they answer 'No' in the last field, nothing happens. If they select 'Yes' however, an additional section of content appears for them to fill out.
