Conditional logic allows you to create dynamic form templates that adapt based on user responses. This ensures follow-up questions only appear when they’re needed, reducing clutter and improving completion speed.
What Is Conditional Logic?
Conditional logic lets you control whether a question is shown or hidden depending on how a previous question is answered.
Example:
If a worker answers Yes to “Will dust need to be managed?”, a follow-up question such as “How will you manage dust?” can automatically appear. If they answer No, the follow-up question stays hidden.
How to Add Conditional Logic to a Form Template
Step 1: Open the Form Template
Navigate to Forms.
Open the Templates tab.
Select the form template you want to edit.
Step 2: Add or Select the Conditional Question
Add a new question (for example, a Text block), or
Select an existing question you want to show or hide conditionally.
Position the question where it should appear in the form.
Step 3: Open the Conditions Section
With the question selected, scroll down to the Conditions section.
You’ll see an option that controls when this block is shown.
Step 4: Set the Trigger Condition
Choose the question that will control visibility.
Select the response that must be met (for example, Yes).
Define the outcome so the question only shows when the condition is met.
Step 5: Preview the Logic
Use the preview panel to test your form.
Change the trigger question’s answer and confirm:
The follow-up question stays hidden for non-matching responses
The question appears when the correct response is selected
Important Notes
Conditional logic is applied per question
Only questions after the trigger question should be conditional
You can use conditional logic to reduce unnecessary questions and improve clarity
When to Use Conditional Logic
Conditional logic is ideal for:
Risk or incident reporting
Optional follow-up details
Compliance or safety confirmations
Reducing form length for simple scenarios
