Page Rules
With Page Rules, you can direct your form respondents to a specific page in your multi-page form based on their responses. This way, you can let your respondents view only the pages relevant to them while they fill out your form.
For example, if you want your employees to request for a laptop using an IT Asset Request Form, you can build a multi-page form as shown below with Employee Details, Windows Laptop Requirements, MacOS Requirements, Additional Requirements, and Tentative Date by which the employee requires the asset divided into different pages using the Page Break field. Configure Page Rules such that the employees who opt for Windows laptop are directed to the page where all the details related to Windows OS laptops are displayed and the ones opting for MacOS are directed to the page with Apple laptops, thus avoiding irrelevant page display to your employees.
Configuring Page Rules
To create a Page rule,
- Create a multi-page form using the Page Break field.
- Navigate to the Rules tab and click Configure Now.
- Select the page for which you want to configure rules.
-
Click
and define the conditions and actions for the page rule.
Note: If a page has no rules, then it will be directed to the next page in the form by default. To change this selection, you can direct it to the required page in the No Rules? section.
- To add multiple conditions in a rule, click the
icon. - In the Skip to section, choose a page within your form where the respondent must be taken to if the rule is satisfied.
- To add more than one rule to a page, click the + icon below the Rule box.
- To duplicate a rule in a page, click the duplicate icon below the Rule box.
- In the Finally section, specify the page where the respondent should be taken to, if none of the rules specified for a page are satisfied.
- Once you have configured the rules, click Add to save and view the rule summary.
- To filter rules, click the filter icon in the top-right corner.
Rules are case-sensitive which means the conditions trigger actions only when the case of the text in the defined condition matches the case of the respondent input. Check out an example to understand this better.
