Conditions: show, hide, make required

Conditions: show, hide, make required

A condition changes the form based on an answer already given, so people only see what concerns them.

Where conditions apply

• on a question;
• on a whole section;
• on a matrix cell, for example a "Fix date" column that is required only when severity is "High".

Operators

Actions

• Show — the question or section appears only when the condition is met;
• Hide — it disappears when the condition is met;
• Make required — an answer becomes mandatory;
• Make optional — a required question may be left empty.

Step-by-step example

In a site inspection, you want a photo only when a defect is found.

1. Create a Yes/no question "Defect found?".
2. Add a Photo question "Photo of the defect".
3. On the photo question, open Conditions and add a rule: Defect found? Equals Yes, action Show.
4. Add a second rule on the same question: same test, action Make required.
5. Click Try and answer "Yes", then "No", to check.

Good to know

• A hidden question is never demanded, even if it is required.
• Conditions also work in the mobile app, offline included, and when filling in together.
