Field Configuration

When you select a field, you will be presented with the configuration dialog.

On this dialog, you will see four tabs, and they are:

Setup – Where you add the label name for the field and an optional short description.
Validation – You can opt to make this field mandatory or optional and set the maximum and minimum length of the text the users can enter.
Connect – You can map the current field to either the Profile or a Custom field in CrowdComms.
Please remember that if you want to connect the response in the form to a custom field, you must first add the custom field in the People’s Profile setting.
Visibility – You can customize this tab to configure when to show or hide this current field based on the user’s response to other fields, as well as add a People Group to restrict the visibility of this field to specific people groups. Please refer here for explanations of how to configure this tab.

Once you’re happy with the text field configuration, click ‘Submit’.

Visibility (All fields)

i. There are a few ways to use this Visibility configuration. The simplest one is if you want to show or hide the current field based on the user’s response to a previous field, as well as add People Group to restrict the visibility of this field to specific people groups.

ii. For example, you can decide to show or hide a checkbox question based on the answer provided in the previous field(s) of the registration form.

iii. Say you want to ask a follow-up question, ‘Do you ride to work?’ to users who have responded Yes to having a bicycle. You can add a configuration for the current field to only appear for those users who have answered Yes. And not to appear for users who answered No.

iv. You can also configure the current field to check multiple other previous fields before it shows/hides the current field based on the user’s responses.

v. As an example, if your current field asks the users if they ride to work, you may want to check if your users have answered True in some of the other previous fields, such as, if they ‘Own a bicycle’ or if they ‘Work from an office’.

vi. If you want the current field to only show if the users have answered all of the relevant questions with True, then select ‘When all the following are true’ from the Select Logic dropdown.

vii. But, if you want at least one of the relevant fields to have been answered True, then select ‘When some of the following are true’ from Select logic the dropdown options.

viii. You don’t need to create the opposite response configuration, i.e. ‘Hide this field’ if the users responded to not having a bicycle.

ix. On Select Logic, there are 2 options available. If you have one or multiple fields you want to check for this configuration, select ‘When all the following are true’.

x. For this logic, the system will look for all the relevant fields you’ve configured and check that the users have answered True on all of them.

xi. The other option is if you have multiple fields and you want the system to check that your users have answered ‘Yes’ to at least one of them, select ‘When some of the following are true’ from the dropdown option.

xii. What this will do is, if you have 2 questions which you have configured with this current field, the system will look at whether at least one of the answers is True, and if so, the current field will appear to the user.

xiii. The next step is to add the visibility Conditions. On this table you will need to add all the field(s) you want the configurations to check.

xiv. Click on the ‘+ Add’ button and another dialog will appear. You must ensure that the field already exists in the registration form.

xv. On the dialog, select the Field, Comparison and/or the Value. Please note that depending on the field type, some of the dropdowns may not be applicable to the configuration. Such as for the Text Field type, you won’t need to add the Value.

xvi. If you want to add more fields to the current field’s configuration, repeat steps ix – xii.
