Hide completed fields from "save and continue later" link?

  • CanadianDivorceFinancing
    Asked on January 4, 2021 at 1:40 PM

    I have a form for gathering documents and I know that no one will have all the documents ready at the initial time they fill them in. I am wondering how (probably conditions) I can have items they have completed disappear from view when they save and go back into fill in the rest.

    Example

    The form has 7 spots to upload documents. Client fills in 1,2,4,6. They hit save.

    The next time they return to the form using the save link they only see 3,5, and 7


    Possible?

    Hi,

    If you want to hide a field if its filled and the user is accessing the form through the save and continue later link you can add the get URL widget and you can add a condition to hide the field if it's filled and the URL contains the word "session" since it appears in the "save and continue later" link.

    It would be similar to the guide below but your link doesn't contain the word "edit":

    Please let us know if you have any further questions.

    Just to confirm. I will have to repeat the condition for each element I want to hide?


    Second,

    Is there a way to hide a section as soon as the person fills it in without the issue of the first letter typed into the field hiding the field? I attempted to use "if X is filled then hide X" but the first letter typed and poof. is there a way to have it wait until the entire field is populated or the user goes to the next field?

    Hi CanadianDivorceFinancing, thank you for reaching back to us.

    You may choose to use the feature Hide Multiple if you have more than one field.

    Is there a way to hide a section as soon as the person fills it in without the issue of the first letter typed into the field hiding the field? I attempted to use "if X is filled then hide X" but the first letter typed and poof. is there a way to have it wait until the entire field is populated or the user goes to the next field?

    To clarify, would you like to hide page 1 as soon as the user reach page 2?

    We await your response.

    Only certain fields. If I fill in my name then “name” field disappears. So if I have a page that’s a checklist of items

    1upload file

    2 upload file

    3 number field

    4 upload file

    so if I fill in 3 then 1, 2, and 4 are still visible
