  • Flagged in the response table
  • Excluded from email notifications

  • Redacted in exports unless the user has PHI access

Conditional logic

Every field supports conditional display rules. See Conditional Logic for full details.

Tips

  • Use Section Breaks to split long forms into multiple steps — this significantly improves completion rates.
  • Use Rating fields instead of open-text for feedback questions — they're easier to analyse.
  • Combine Calculated fields with Number fields to build quote forms or cost calculators.
