To create conditional logic between fields:
After selecting the main field you want to create conditions for, and clicking the button “Manage Conditions”, you will see a pop-up window with the first condition you can create. You can then select the answers which should trigger a follow-up question.
To illustrate, we are using the Local Entity reporting scenario and we have created a reporter intake form that asks the reporter the country where the incident happened. Only if the reporter selects Poland, Sweden or Germany, they will see a follow-up question if they want to share it with HQ or locally. Reporters that select in this example Brazil or the Netherlands, report to HQ and therefore will not be asked a follow-up question about this.
To create this condition, select the affected options under “WHEN Answer is”; then the relevant field under “THEN SHOW Field(s):
To amend existing conditional logics:
You can change the previously selected options and/or the fields with follow-up questions by clicking on the relevant fields, or you can add conditions:
To remove conditions:
You can remove conditions by clicking on the trash can icon next to them:
- You can add multiple conditions to the fields of your Reporter Intake Form.
-
Fields can only be used either as trigger or follow-up question. In other words, a field used as follow-up question cannot be given an additional conditional logic to initiate another follow-up question.
-
Conditional logic can be applied to Yes/No and (multiple) option select fields. Not short text. A short text field can be used as the follow-up question.
-
Added or amended conditional fields will only affect reports created afterwards.
