Repeatable questions

A repeatable question is, like a page section, a container for more questions. However, repeatable questions allow customers to answer the fields inside them multiple times. Each time the fields are answered, the repeatable question will add a row to its summary table.

When the customer has completed as many rows in the repeatable as they need, the summary table gives an overview of the data entered. It is also possible for the customer to remove rows from the summary table, or to edit any rows they've added.

Adding a repeatable question

Adding a repeatable question is very similar to adding any other page element - just drag it from the page element toolbox and drop it in place on the page.

  1. Navigate to the page management area, and open the page you wish to add the repeatable question to.
  2. Click, hold and drag the page section from the left hand panel to the drop area on the right hand side. The settings panel for the page section will open.
  3. Complete the mandatory fields, and click the Add Section button. The settings pane will close, and the preview will update to show your section.
  4. The section in the preview will contain a shaded area labelled There are currently no questions.... You can now drag page elements into this area to add them to the section.
  5. Click the Save button to save your changes.

Updating a page section

  1. Navigate to the page management area, and open the page you wish to edit a section on.
  2. Click the section title in the page preview. The settings panel for the page section will open.
  3. Make the required changes, and click the Add Section button. The settings pane will close, and the preview will update to show your section.
  4. Click the Save button to save your changes.

Deleting a page section

note

Removing a section removes all nested page elements inside that section too.

  1. Navigate to the page management area, and open the page you wish to delete a section from.
  2. Click the section title in the page preview. The settings panel for the page section will open.
  3. Click the Delete button in the settings pane. You will need to confirm this in the subsequent popover before the removal will take place. The settings pane will close, and the preview will update to show your section.
  4. Click the Save button to save your changes.
