How can I build a printing quote form

    Asked on October 28, 2014 at 7:30 AM

    Hello support, I am interested in building the above named quote form & from what I have read up, it appears I need to use your "drop down" tool + calculation wizard?

     

    The question I have is let's say for example I have the drop down topic as "finish type" with options a) gloss, b) matt & so forth, how can I also assign numeric values or money to the options so that the price/calculation wizard value changes depending on the selection? I would need to do this to all my entries i.e each option set could have anywhere from 2 to 15 different options all with different monetary values although the calculations themselves will be quite simple mainly add all selections.

     

    Thank you

    Hi,

    To add the values for calculation you should go into the properties of the widget/field and add them there.

    In case of a dropdown, there is one thing to consider. You will have the dropdown empty at the start allowing the person filling out the jotform to decide from the values, this means that you should then first add 0 in the calculation values (I have shown this in the screenshot) then values for each option.

    First, lets right click on the dropdown and select Show Properties option.

    After clicking on that we should see a new window shown to us and what we are interested in is the Calculation Values section.

    As you can see under Options there are only 3 listed, but under calculation values we have added 0 then 3 others as well. This is to be used is blank value is selected, or no other option is.

    I hope this helps you in your quest :)
