Removing empty or unnecessary fields from submissions

    Asked on May 5, 2015 at 5:19 AM

    Dear Sir/Madam,

    we are a study abroad company using Jotform for our application forms. 

    We have created one form with conditional logic, with which it's possible to apply to all our study abroad destinations. While there are some data fields which are always available, some fields are specific to a destination and will be visible only if that destination is selected at the outset. 

    However, the submissions show each and every data field of the form, regardless of which destination was chosen, which is impractical for processing the applications. We would therefore like to know if there is a way to hide all the fields that are irrelevant for a specific destination from the submission. I know that this problem could easily be solved by using a separate form for each destination, but it would be more practical for us in other ways to use a single form and just edit the submission settings, if this is possible.

     

    Thank you and I'm looking forward to your response.
