Conditions in Form Center

When using the Form Center, you may want the ability to have secondary field sets appear depending on a user’s answer. Generally, when a user selects “other” as a response or if further information is required depending on the answer. There are options for conditional formatting, you can hide or show items, redirect to a website, or require a field set.

Example Checkbox Field Question – Conditional Show

Question: What is your favorite fruit?
Answers:
- Apples
- Oranges
- Other

If you would like users to have the ability to specify an answer, add another field box (such as Short Answer). This will be the field set that appears once a selection has been made.
