Conditional Rules | Advanced Page Rules - Zoho Forms

Advanced Page Rules

Overview

With Advanced Page Rules, you can configure rules with a combination of AND/OR connectors between multiple condition groups to skip pages and take respondents to the pages relevant to them based on their input.

Let's look at Advanced Rules with some simple examples.

Job Application Form

If you have Job Application form with multiple pages to collect relevant details of the applicants such as:

Page 1: Personal Details
Page 2: Graduation Details
Page 3: Job Experience Details
Page 4: Check your eligibility
Page 5: Thank you

You can configure a rule as shown:

If
(Prior Job Experience is Yes AND Current Employment status is Employed AND When can you join  is Immediately AND (( Role Applied for is Software Developer AND Experience in Years is  3 or greater) OR Role Applied for is Web Designer AND Experience in Years is 5 or greater ) OR Role Applied for is Software Tester AND Experience in Years is 3 ) OR ( Expected CTC is less than 5 Lakhs per annum )))

Then,
Go to Page 3: Job Experience Details
Else, go to Page 4: Check your eligibility

Example 1

Patient Admission Form

If you have Patient Admission form with multiple pages to collect relevant details of the patients such as:

Page 1: Patient Details
Page 2: Intensive Care Unit admission
Page 3: Regular admission
Page 4: Confirm Admission

You can configure a rule as shown:

If  
( Patient condition is Critical OR ( Health Issue is Covid AND Age is Greater than or equal to 50  ) OR Health Issue is Severe Accident Injury OR Doctor has recommended admission to ICU )

Then
Go to Page 2: Intensive Care Unit admission
Else, go to Page 3: Regular admission
