What’s a Smart Form?
In the most basic sense, smart forms are dynamic. Instead of static words on a screen, smart forms can change based on how a user answers a question using conditional logic. Want to segment questions to different types of users? Perform complex calculations? Smart forms get the job done.
What is conditional logic?
Conditional logic is rooted in Greek philosophy and essentially uses an IF/THEN conditional statement to determine an outcome. Conditional logic in its modern iteration essentially automates changes based on a user’s input. The If statement is the trigger and the Then statement is the result. It has since evolved into a framework used to automate workflows. When you apply that reasoning to a form, you can use one answer as a trigger and another answer as a result to get your desired outcome. In the case of conditional logic for forms, you can use them to perform calculations, customize a thank you page, and show or hide certain answers.
When is conditional logic needed most?
Conditional logic is needed most when you or your organization is getting bogged down by manual tasks. Or when you find yourself wasting time with manual entry tasks, such as calculations or data entry. Haven’t we all experienced frustration filling out a form and having to answer questions that don’t apply to you? Conditional logic will save your users from having to answer an overwhelming amount of questions that don’t apply to them.
Why is conditional logic so important and time saving?
Cuts out user error, and automates tasks so people can focus on expanding the business
Here are some scenarios where conditional logic could come in handy:
- Sending emails to different addresses according to user answers
- Showing additional questions when a user chooses a specific answer
- Skipping pages in a multipage survey depending on user answers
- Offering different PDF downloads depending on the user’s choice
- Showing a different Thank-You message based on user answers to a quiz
- Password protecting a form
- Not showing the submit button until the user makes a particular choice

How Do I Set Up Conditions on My Forms?
Just follow the “Conditional Logic Wizard” to smarten up your form.
Access the Conditional Logic Wizard
Go to the Settings tab in the Form Builder, then click Conditions on the left.
Select the condition you need.
What Each Conditional Logic Option Does
Show/Hide Field
The show/hide field option uses an if-do condition to show or hide different fields based on an answer to a previous question. For example, if you would only like an email field to show on a form if the user has selected ‘yes’ to the question ‘would you like us to contact you?’ you can set up a show/hide field based on a user’s answer.
Here are some guides related to this function:
- How to Show or Hide Fields Based on a User’s Answer
- Hide or Show Multiple Fields at Once
- Show or Hide Multiple Fields at Once Using the Form Collapse Tool
Update/Calculate Field
You can create conditional logic rules to perform calculations.
Let’s say you want to add values from two different fields and have the solution appear in a text box labeled “Total”. You can specify the fields to be added and when they should be added.
Check out the guides below to learn more about this conditional logic option:
- How to Insert Text or a Mathematical Calculation into a Field Using Conditional Logic
- How to Manipulate a Text String with Conditions and Calculations
Enable/Require Field
This option allows you to set a form field as required or not required depending on the user’s input.
You can also enable or disable form fields. This option can be used to conditionally set or change a field’s Content Mask. The Content Mask helps users enter data by ensuring a predefined format, such as an international phone number, will be followed.
Here are some guides related to this conditional logic option:
- How to Make a Field Required Based on a User’s Answer
- How to Set a Content Mask on a Form Field Based on Another Field Input
Skip To/Hide a Page
It is also called skip logic. It allows you to skip or hide pages based on a user’s answers.
You can ask additional questions on a new page or simply end the form.
Below is a guide with more details on how to use this feature: How to Skip Pages Using Conditional Logic
Change “Thank You” Page
In this option, you can redirect to a different Thank You page according to the form submission.
Let’s say you list your white papers in a dropdown list and prompt the user to select one. After the form is submitted, the user will be redirected to the white paper they selected.
You can also display a customized Thank You page according to the form response. If your form is a quiz and the user’s responses for the quiz are not correct, it might be useful to provide the answers or additional resources on the next page.
Here are some guides that might help you with this feature:
- Change Thank You URL Based on a Condition
- How to Change Thank You Message Using Conditional Logic
- How to Change Thank You Message Depending on the Language Used
Change E-mail Recipient
Send different email alerts based on your users’ responses.
Let’s say you have a dropdown field with options like “Sales”, “Support”, etc. – you can set it that if the user selects “Sales”, an email alert will be sent to the sales department.
Here’s a comprehensive guide on how to set up email alerts with conditions: How to Send Email Based on a User’s Answer
Setting up a Condition
The next screen after selecting a Conditional Logic option is a dynamic form. The fields you’ve added and the choices you have set determine the if-then statement.
Once you complete a condition, save and test your interactive form. Make sure that the condition is working properly before adding more conditions or your smart form will turn out to be not so smart.
How’d you do? Did you have any difficulties understanding this guide? Please share your thoughts in the comments section below.

Hello, I have 2 fields that need to match exactly,
I need to either,
1) Have Field 2 auto populate with the contents of Field 1 (and make field 2 “read only”, (I thought I could do a condition of “if does not match”, fill with another fields content", but I am getting an unknown error (I assume circular).
2) Have condition to check if Field 2 matches Field 1 before they can continue. ... but I can't see how to do this..
thanks!

Save your interactive form after completing each condition, then run a test. Before adding more conditions, make sure the existing ones are functioning properly. Otherwise, your smart form might not be so smart after all.

How could I ensure the submission process completes before I click on the hotel's web url?

It should go from first page to second page to thank you page. I have conditional logic setup that uses information from page 1 to show certain fields in page 2. Is that why it's breaking? Can you not have fields on the second page be based off of what is chosen on the previous page?

Hi There, I'm trying to have it hide the next question in a questionnaire depending on the value that users select from a drop down in a grid. That grid has first a column of dropdowns and then to columns of text fields. When I say IF "that question" Contains Value "a specific value from the drop down list column (first column in the grid)" it doesn't do anything? But if I just type that value in next columns text box field, then it works? How do I get the value from the drop down in the grid be used in the condition?
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
I am setting up a jotform where a core group of 5 people will always need to receive a notification that a form was submitted which I believe I should set up under EMAILS under the SETTINGS tab.
In addition to that group of 5 people, there may be occasions when other departments, such at tech and communications, may need to receive notifications only if their services are needed.
My question is, do I set up notifications for the core 5 people under EMAILS under the SETTINGS tab, then in order for the other departments to receive notifications when needed, set up under the CONDITIONS tab a CONDITIONAL LOGIC so the notification emails goes their email? If so, do I need to put in that departments' email only or do I need to put in the core 5 people AND the email of that department?
Hi,
I am creating a driving theory practice test so require the correct answer to highlight if not answered correctly before moving to the next question.

Is this possible?

Thank you

I have a form with a multiple choice question that could be answered with multiple different combinations of answers. I need to use conditional formatting on it, but if/then isn't enough. The option that I am looking for is "unless" and I can't see a way to make that happen. If they pick "Option C", I want the form to skip the next two questions. If they pick "Option A" or "Option B" by themselves or in any combination with "Option C" I want the next two questions to show up. Any idea how to make that happen? I have already tried the "Is not equal to" option to see if that would work and it appears to give basically the same result as the "Is equal to" option when applied to the other choice.
I am designing an online checklist with 100's of questions. The use will choose if something is:

I understand how to set up the Conditional Logic to unhide the comment box and photo. What I am wondering is the most efficient way to have this work for multiple questions. Is is possible to set up a comment box and photo as a different section and then have the logic loop to that section only??
I have a form that previously worked fine with the conditional logic i input, but between disabling the form and re-enabling it, it now seems to not be working correctly even though none of the conditional logic has changed.
I had it set to hide an address field if a shippable item type was not selected, and to show if it was. however it's showing the address field for non-shippable products (I do artwork commissions and only ship certain types of physical artwork, the rest are digital only)
It's frustrating because I don't need to know or hold someone's address for non-shippable items.

I'm having trouble creating a rule... I would like to create the following rules
IF any of the drop downs are equal to billable,
THEN the box is automatically checked by the form.
Then say there is a mistake and clicked billable when they didn't mean to and someone needs to correct the form:
IF all of the drop downs are equal to Non-billable or blank.
THEN the box is automatically not checked by form.
Please let me know if I am overlooking how to do this. Thanks!
I've tried searching this elsewhere but can't find it. I have 2 conditional logic questions, and they're working fine, but when I go to generate a pdf to print it, those 2 questions are printed at the very bottom of the form...which makes no sense.

Hi there, this is great! I have a form with a drop-down select question (Q1) that has about 60 options. I'd like the option that the person selects to set a value for another question (Q2) that has five options. (So all options in Q1 are mapped to one of five options in Q2.) What would be the easiest way to do this? Is there something easier than creating 60 separate conditionals? Thank you.

Is there any way set up a conditional that is based on whether the form is filled out the 1st time or is filled out using the Edit Link? For example, when someone fills out the form the 1st time I want them taken to a special offer page. But if they are just submitting an update at a later time using the Edit Link I do NOT want them going to that offer page and want them redirected to another thank you page. Please advise. Thanks!
Hi, it will not let me select the "IF" field I need to. There's only 1 option that becomes highlighted, out of 7 elements. Are there only specific form elements that have the ability to have conditions?

How do I set a condition for a dropdown box? I want an employee to select a department, which pulls up the divisions associated with the department
Department -Dropdown box

I can't find the answer to my question among your FAQs. I created a Jotform (https://www.jotform.com/build/81617014808152) that contains several questions (12A - 12G) in which I want the user to be able to "Mark All That Apply". When I preview the form and click on "Fill Form" button, ALL of the options for these questions are checked and I cannot uncheck them. How do I fix this problem?
A very helpful guide. Really useful as it helps in areas you wouldn.t necessarily think of using.

My problem is to set different prices connected to the type of user you are. So: you are a member ? 5 €.. You are an Active Member €10. You are a guest, ok for you it’s for free
When you select you status, it has to appear the right price connected to the payment system .
I followed exactly you instructions but they probably work differently for the payment field.
How can I do?
In one form you can only have 1 payment field, so I created three levels in prices field but how can I create the system to show the right price for the right member ?

Hi, I'm currently building a sheets app to organize the Jotform data onto a formatted document and I had a question regarding how the Jotform Spreadsheets Integration API works.

-send email only when certain column is chosen in an input table.
Hello, I want to send a notification email only when a certain column in an input table has a check.
The table has two columns labelled "Satisf" and "Unsat".
The logic currently is
IF (table field)
STATE (Contains)
TARGET (Value)
VALUE (Unsat)
The example logics I've seen on this thread have a STATE of "is Equal to". I don't know what the functionality of the Contains state is in regards to the input table columns. As it stands right now simply putting the VALUE as the name of column of the input table, for which it sends the notification email when someone answers in that column, does not work.
Thank you!

Respondents can answer 'yes' or 'no'. I can stop after a number of submission but I would like to stop the form after X 'yes'.

Thank you
I have integrated the form with google docs. However, if I add a column, future submissions are not posted to the right column. How can I have my submissions data map to the correct fields?
I have tried to edit the sheet in google to add custom charts etc.
However Jotform resets the sheet
Hi,
I am trying to create a form in which by using "the spinner" clients can select the quantity of the product to purchase. After that lets say for example they chose 1, then they will have the option to customize that item by using radio buttons. My problem is that the quantity can go from 1 item to 200 items, so I would like to automate the process of creating a new radio button for every item they choose to buy. Please help me to find a viable solution without the tedious work of creating individual logic configurations to each quantity.
Hi! I'm trying to force users to check "yes" to agree to our privacy policy before they submit their forms -- I don't want them to be able to submit without checking yes. How do I structure the conditional logic to require this?
Would it be better to have only a "yes" checkbox instead of yes/no?
We have been integrated with google spreadsheets for some time. The integration seems to have broken a bit in the past week however, as the form no longer passes the date of submission to our spreadsheet. All other data is still being uploaded to our sheet however. We just have a blank column for the dates of forms submitted in the past week or so. Please advise.
Hey blog post ! I was enlightened by the details , Does someone know if my business can acquire a sample IRS 4506-T form to use ?
conditional logic_I need a greater than state
does not seem to be available was a 'state' option (although I am sure I was able to use it yesterday????
I need to say if 1.1h>-1 then 1.1a=21
How to I get the greater than option please
I've integrated google spreadsheets successfully in the past, but I'm currently unable to click on "integrations." Please advise.
Thank you
Hi
This is magic...it is so easy to use and does what i want exactly.
Can you have multiple "ifs"? For example:
You have four age brackets: 5-17, 18-25, 25-35, 36+
Can you say IF: age bracket is 5-17 OR 18-25, THEN: charge $20?
I just wanted to update my earlier problem. I was trying to use the conditional statements to update prices if a certain box was checked but couldn't figure out how to adjust it for all the different prices. Since last night I figured out that I had to make a statement for each price and it worked. Was a pain to write a statement for each one, hopefully it will work as intended.
I have made a form and let me say, this is amazing. It works so well. I love the ease of using the logic. I am utilizing the conditional logic that IF choice A, then SHOW option 1, IF choice B, then SHOW option 2.
It works great online, but when converting to a fillible PDF, the logic does not make the next question appear. I choose choice A, and nothing happens.
Is this not possible yet?
Again. Amazing job on Jotform.
Is there a maximum number of logic statement you can have on a form?
Hi -- I would like to create a form that would be mailed IF:
"Home Safe" is empty AND
"Expected Return Date & Time" more than 1 hour ago... is there any way to do this? Thanks
I am using skip logic on a question that is yes/no. If 'Yes' then display specific question and if 'No' then a different question comes up. No matter how I seem to set up the rules, either the 'Yes' follow up OR the 'No' follow up question populate on the unfilled form. Am I missing something that will not allow either alternative question to show up until a 'Yes' or a 'No' is selected?
Your content is nothing short of brilliant in many ways. I think this is engaging and eye-opening material. Thank you so much for caring about your content and your readers.
Hello
my form has multiple options for people who are subscribing (this is a printed magazine), updating an address or cancelling a subscription. The conditions are working for jumping to a page of fields. That works, but I can't get it to skip pages to the end after this step. It used to work on FormsCentral.
The date is not reporting on my google doc all the info is.
can we have the attachment link pointing towards the google drive instead of jot form?
e.g.instead of...'
What syntax do I use to update a date field? I would like to populate a "start date" field based on what is entered in two other fields. I understand how to phrase the conditions, but I can't figure out how to type the date in the calculation area to get the date field to display correctly. Thank you!
First of all Thank you! This is fantastic. I just made my first form and converted it to fillable pdf. as instructed, but my images don't show on the pdf? I have two images on the form, one is my logo and the other one is a guide to help the customer answer a specific question. Is there a trick to this or is it not possible to include images in the pdf?
I have set up my form with page breaks between sections. Depending on someones selection, certain pages can be skipped, but I can't seem to skip the whole page and onto the next section without leaving the "back/next" bar. If I try to include it in the skip logic, when I hit next, it comes to a blank page. If I leave the "back/next" button in, then they keep coming up with no information behind them, and it looks tacky. Is there a way to hit "next" and skip a whole section?
Hello
I was trying to use conditional logic in my form and i am having trouble with it. So I used purchase order to display my products. What i want to do is, once the user choose his product, i want the form to automatically direct it to the end of the form. As i was not able to do that, i used page breaks split the form into two parts. However, the user still needs to go all the way down on the form to choose the next button to be redirected into the information section. IS there a way to shift to the 2nd page without using the next button using conditions?.Thank you
Is there a way to use the conditional logic feature to "auto fill" a persons name throughout a form? I have a long form that has the words "Bride" and "Groom" throughout it, in radio button fields and multiple choice fields, etc. I would like the Bride and Groom to fill in their names on the first page and for all of the other spots throughout the form that currently say "Bride" and "Groom" to automatically fill with the correct names. Is there a code to do this with?

What if we already have a Google Doc that we would like to start incorporating this into? Is it possible to do that or is the only way to create a new doc? The reason I ask is that we have some analysis logic in the spreadsheet that helps us analyze responses we get.
Hi, will the normal notifier and autoresponder emails still be sent if a condition is put into place to send to a specific person depending on an answer?
Can I receive or send text to any cell phone if someone edit Google spreadsheet instead of email notification?
Can we add customer log ins so they can return time after time to enter and adjust entries into their forms? With the ability to see their previous entries and adjust those rather than clearing o9ut the whole thing?
The Google Drive and especially Google spreadsheets integration is very useful. However is there anyway to get a submitted image to actually display in the Google spreadsheet instead of having only a link? (Perhaps in a thumbnail format?)
Thanks.
My form is currently connect to a Google Doc folder, but I can't figure out where this folder exists. It is possible it is connected to someone who no longer works here. I need to be able to manage the responses through Google Docs. Is there any way you can un-integrate it, then re-integrate it to my Google Drive?
can I have it so that the receiver of the form can then reopen form and mark "approve" and then route it to someone else?
Can I have a check box with multiple selections trigger multiple submission in order to generate multiple submission lines in the google spreadsheet, each with only one of the selected options showing?
There is a big need to make calculations inside forms?
Does Jotform has any way to give numbers to multiple choices.

I am setting up a form for a bike a thon fundraiser where people can support a specific person. I have a dropdown box with names and I am trying to set up a condition using "is equal to" so when a person is sponsored they receive an email that they have been sponsored. I got one condition set up but when I tried to set it up for additional people it will only let me select the top name in the dropdown box.
How may I have the data that is filled through a particular form to go to multiple spreadsheets according to the input, or to different sheets in the same spreadsheet?
I am trying to set up conditional logic based on information supplied by my sales rep.
If there is one components then I need just one component section and hide the rest of the components. How can I do that??
It will hide everything if there is no selection, but if I select a component then it shows all 4 components.
Thanks,

I am trying to set up a date condition. If today's date (which is the first date field on the form) is after the 20th, then a different date field would pre populate with the first day of the next month, without being able to change it to a previous date. My form is and want cid_21 to be populated with the today's date or later if cid_5 is todays date is before the 20th of the month. If it's (cid_5)the 20th or later I want cid_21 to only allow the date the be the first of the next month or later.
Hi guys,
Not sure what the above problem was (might be that I was working via Remote Host), but have switched PCs and the authentication has now gone through. Very impressed with the initial results, especially considering Jotform is free - have to commend you for your good work.
Hi there,
I started compiling a form and am impressed with how user-friendly your tool is. However, when I go to authenticate my Google accounts (Drive and Spreadsheet)and Accept Jotform's request for access permissions, I'm greeted with a blank page. I've tried all my browsers (IE, Chrome, Firefox, Safari), both signed in and out of my Google accounts, but with the same result. Could you please help me discover what is going wrong, as it is enormously frustrating to have such a potentially-useful tool fall short at the last minute.
Hi there,
We have a form with many commodities. The user can select any or all of the commodities and they fill in all the information.
We would like the email to show only the details for the commodities they selected and filled out.
How do we set up conditions for this?
Thanks,
Uma

It would be great if we were able to add conditional logic to products for purchases.

How can I do the following: Based upon a particular response I want go to one of 3 other forms. The conditional logic works fine for specifying different pages, but not for specifying different forms. Also, is there a way to add an invisible page break (one that doesn't have the previous-next buttons).
The integration worked...I think...but the answers are not showing up in my Google doc.

I am trying to collect visitor contact information with my jotform and transfer it to my Google contacts. Is there a way to get my jotform contact list into my Google contacts? Or, am I able to setup the Google docs spreadsheet created from my jotform to import cleanly into my Google contacts? I used the created Google docs spreadsheet and exported to a .csv file then imported to my Google contacts. It got the first & last names and emails in the correct fields but it dumped just about everything else into the "notes" field in my Google contacts?!?
I'm looking to provide a dropdown where the user selects a state, which will limit choices in a second dropdown to only those cities within a state. Other option would be to include (in the first option table) header selections of state with sub-selections of city. Only problem is that I don't want the users to chose the state level.
How can I accomplish either of these?

Is there a way to add multiple "then"s or results to a condition? For example, for the MMiT Application form I'm working on, I want to hide all questions until they're answered one at a time. (Once the full name is filled in, then it will show 'Have you paid your dues?'; if they select 'yes', it will show 'Please list all available...' - if they select 'no' it will hide the rest of the form.
Is there a way to do this without going into each specific question and creating multiple conditions for it? I can see that you can add multiple 'rules', but not multiple 'then' sections.
Thanks,
Sarah
Jotform is pretty neat. This is complementary to what we have done at delighta.com. You can enter data in your Google spreadsheet via SMS from as many mobile phones as you want. We believe we are the first company to successfully integrate SMS with Google spreadsheet and calendar.
Would I be able to send responses from multiple forms to the same spreadsheet?
How do I make it so on my drop down field, when a user makes a selection it automatically re-directs them to a different url or a completely new form?
One of the advantages of the google integration "workaround" you proposed in an earlier post (Jotform HTML report updated every n minutes) is that the first row of the spreadsheet is empty, the form header starts on row 2 and the spreadsheet fills from row 3 down. This very convenient as I can test for the number of entries in a column at the head of the column and use conditional formatting to indicate that I've exceeded capacity in a class.
Can the starting row of the Jotform Google Docs integrated report be specified to allow the same functionality without interfering with the subsequent automatic data entry?
Is there a way to name pages? Instead of trying to remember which is "page 1" and "page 4", etc, for a long list of pages, it would be easier if each page could be named; and those names used in branching conditions.
Thank you.
I have tried to apply the same conditions to two different buttons. When I set all the conditions to the first one, it works fine. But then when I apply them to another button, they stop working on the previous button.
Surely I must be able to make the conditions work all over the place. This is on formID=21704271832145
Also, is there some sort of settings I have to adjust to the Google spreadsheet. When I fill out the Jotform, the data is not pushing to the Google spreadsheet.
Can you move the folder that is created (i.e. I want to place the Jotform folder for registration for our golf outing into the Golf Outing google docs folder)? Or, does it have to remain outside any subfolder to map the data correctly?
Great..i just tried it and it works great~ Make sure you are already logged into your gmail account..i think this might help some.
this is phenomenal! thank you! i have been transferring manually to my excel spreadsheet and it can be tedious. awesome!
This is halfway working for me. It only fills out some of the questions on my G Docs spreadsheet. The Jotform email I get has everything filled out but multiple fields don't go through to the spreadsheet.

Is it possible to link multiple forms to a single Google Docs Spreadsheet, but on different sheets? this comes in handy when people use google apps script, and need the same code for multiple spreadsheets
Very Good !!! Excellent.
Google drive is part of google docs... two different things... I'm still wanting support for google drive to have form attachments go to google drive, just like they do for dropbox.
Great!
Still would love to see a Calendar sync option. Where the customer can pick time slots and it would update google calendar.
This is GREAT news!! Nothing better than integration all in one place none stop rock in shop. I Love it.
I love that this integrates with Google Docs! Thanks for adding that feature!
Since integrating, I've added some new sections to my form, which are not showing up in my Google Doc. I'd rather not reintegrate because I spent a lot of time personalizing the Google Doc, so I'm wondering if there's something I need to do to for the new sections of the form to show up.
thanks!
Not getting any results here either. All I see is submission date

How can I make a form for a limited number of subscriptions?
For example, I have 20 seats to a talk and when I complete those 20 subscriptions I would like to stop the form.
Is it possible?
can you integrate several forms into one google doc? I have a form for Canadian payments and one for US would love to itegrate these into one google doc.
Hi,
I am exploring the options of using jotform on a professional level and are testing out the service before I purchase a business account for 50 dollars a month.
I created the form ( very surprised how easy it was) and after the google docs integration (that went through as well) the responses dont get parsed to my google docs account. (only once!)
I tried linking it to a different google drive account but with both instances the result of the form only gets registered once.
Again, please let me know if I can help or I am doing something wrong!
//Peter
So when I re-use the link and fill in new data the data doesnt show up in google docs.
Is am happy to present some examples and invest time in fail searching and (as I explained earlier), when stable and functional I am going to use this service on a professional level.
I've connected my form to google. When I did it, the submissions I had appeared on my google spreadsheet but I'm not getting any of the new submissions on it. Did I do anything wrong?
i am testing this right now. i am editing a submission using the edit link sent from an autoemail email. but it seems that the edits of an already submitted are not reflected in gdocs. any steps i missed out? thanks
love it, no more downloading the files. yeaaaaah
really really nice!! You guys just keep adding features. Awesome. Thanks a lot!!
Can we customize this at all? I have an order tracking spreadsheet that I currently use. It uses a Google query in the URL to show only rows based on client information they submit. As orders come in through jotform I manually enter them into my Google spreadsheet. Users can then enter their account number and see all active orders they have submitted.
I would love to be able to customize the way Jotform integrates with the spreadsheet and even better, have it add to my current document.
thanks.
It is still Google Docs for me. :) Mine is not upgraded yet but I'm happy with it.
When viewing the submissions in the google "drive" spreadsheet view, can you edit them and then see the changes reflected on the Jotform site when viewing there? Or is the information flow only one direction?
EGGGGSSSactly what I was hoping for...more advanced reporting!!!!
I'm getting an error message that says "Error: redirect_uri_mismatch" when I click the "Authenticate" button. I accessing my forms through the Jotformpro.com url.
Great! Though Google Docs is not with us anymore. Has become "Drive" now.
This is very cool, but it's not working for me.
I Click Authenticate and then Click the Blue Google Allow button.
Then it asks for Folder and Filename which I leave as default and then press next.
It sits there for 10-15 seconds then comes back with this error.
Great news, just one question tho.......
Can the submission still be e-mail to specific users aswell as adding to the google docs spreadsheet.
thanks
kind regards,

Hi,

Can I hide multiple fields based on a single conditional response?
I need to apply the same condition to a number of fields - is there a way of doing this?
I go to the saved Conditions within the Conditions Wizard and see all of my "show/hide a form field" conditions. However, they are not working.
I cloned this form from another prior form and on that prior form the conditions were working fine.
Solutions?

I can't figure out how to select the place it should go. When I click Select field, all that comes up is "select field."

I am having trouble just getting the survey set up. The questions are not showing,I have deleted the standard information in the matrix row but it keeps coming back. Can someone help me to get the survey set up? I just emailed what I had completed of the survey and foun d the question had disappeared.

I have one question on my form, "What is your primary business activity?" This has a list of 20 or so responses. I set up about 15 conditions from those answers that will direct the person to another question "Describe your business activity." I have previewed the form and when I cick on "Advertising" for example the question "Describe your business activity does not appear below it for some reason. Please tell me how I can fix this.
how can i use my own id format?
Most of my customers are going to my contact form from different pages. They choose one of these different pages because of the product choice they made. When they arrive to the contact form, they have to choose again in a list the product that were on the page they're coming from. Could this item be automatically fulfilled in the form, conditionally to the page they're coming from ?
I want to set-up a survey that presents recommendations based on specific options selected within the form. Can JotForms help me with this?
@txconejo:
You can not do it directly. As you said there is no option for this. It is in our future feature list. What you can do instead is:
Create a form and create the conditionals so that if a user chooses some of the fields he/she will be redirected to a different form upon submission.
You can change the redirected form addresses according to the selections of the user.
I am setting up a product order form.
1st half of my form contains: Name, Email, Address, Phone.
2nd half of form contains:
5 unique products each with a quantity selector.
I am hoping to add a conditional product for shipping wherein if the order total is below $25 then shipping is $2.95 or above a total of $25.00 shipping is free.
The Conditions Wizard is only showing me the first four options of name, email, address and phone and then the title for the 2nd half of my form. (those are my only show/hide field under the "if" option.
There is no option to apply conditions to any of the products of which shipping is one. How can I set this up?
I have a form that displays text when the user chooses an option. The only way I have found for this to work is to set up two conditions where the form HIDES the text if the condition is NOT met and then to DISPLAY the text when the condition IS met.
If the text could be set to hidden in properties and then a condition could DISPLAY it would be much more convenient.
Even so, conditions are AWESOME!!
I am trying to send different emails to the form applicant based upon the form answers. When I set up the conditions, it places the term {email3} into the Email To field...
My form is not working. What value do I need here to send the email to the applicant when the conditions are met?
Hi so i was trying the conditional logic on a check box with just one option instead of the standard minimum two option - but it was not working - the ticks in all the check boxes were present before on the page rather than being empty for the person to tick on- plz help ?

Please ask your questions to the forum.
Start just with as if you are adding a condition to a textfield.
On the top toolbar Setup & Share> Conditions is the way for adding Conditions.
What you should enter to the area is the number of stars.(1,2,3...)
How can I use the logic with star or scale ratings?
I can't figure a way...
I am collecting 5 responses, all from identical drop down menus. I want to ensure sure that each response is different; that there are no duplicate responses among the 5. Can I do this with conditional logic on forms?
I'm wanting to hide some of the items on the form if condition is less than 4
or go to another page if greater than 8
Can more than one condition be set up?
what if I want to go to page 1 if cost is between 0 and 100,and go to page 2 if cost is between 100 and 200, where cost is a number field? what should I do?
