Create smart forms using Add Logic

Add Logic applies only for cases where the fields have multiple-choice answers, and you can set the logic according to that.

  1. Click Add Logic to configure multiple logics. If the customized field is a survey or inquiry with multiple answer options, you can add logic to that specific field.

  2. For If value function, select from three options and enter a value:
    • equal to – Checks whether the values of two operands are equal (condition is true); if not equal, the condition is false. For example, if you enter A and B for a field then this logic will match only if a user enters A and B, and will not match if they enter A, B, and C.

    • not equal to – Checks whether the values of two operands are not equal (condition is true); if the operands are equal, then the condition is false. If you enter A and B, then his logic will match only if a user does not enter A and B, but can enter just A, or A, B, C, and so on.

    • any of – Checks for matching values in a set. For example, if the set is [A, B, C] a user matches the logic with A, B, C, A and B, A and C, B and C, and A, B, and C.

  3. If you enter a value that matches the logic you select, the action selected for the then function executes. For example, if the value of the Regions field is East region, then jump to the APAC section.
  4. You can select from two options and enter a value:
    • Show values > Field – Select the field you want to display if the logic matches. 
    • Jump to – Select which part of the form the user jumps to if the logic matches:
        • Section – Select a form section from the drop-down list.
        • End of Form
        • Field – Select a field from the drop-down list.
