Form Logic Tips: crafting a seamless experience

Before diving into the nitty-gritty of setting up Form Logic, let’s lay the groundwork with these essential tips:

1. Strategic Planning: Map out your form’s logical flow in advance. For example, if you’re creating a customer feedback form, plan how the questions progress from general satisfaction to specific areas like service, ambiance, and menu.
2. Simplicity Wins: Avoid complex rules to prevent confusion. For example, instead of intricate branching logic, use straightforward yes/no questions to determine if respondents want additional information.
3. Thorough Testing: Test different scenarios to ensure flawless logic. For example, in an event registration form, test how the logic adapts if attendees select different ticket types or indicate special dietary preferences.
4. Transparency Matters: Explain why certain questions appear. For example, when asking for contact details, include a brief note like “Help us keep you informed about upcoming events!”
5. User-Centric Design: Personalize the form for a seamless experience. For example, tailor a job application form based on the role selected, dynamically revealing job-specific questions and providing a customized experience for each applicant.
6. Refine Continuously: Gather feedback and enhance your logic. For example, after launching a product feedback form, gather responses and tweak the logic based on user comments to improve the overall experience.

3. Define your conditions:
   Let’s say you’re conducting a survey about coffee and tea preferences. Start with the question: “Coffee or tea?”Using Form Logic, coffee lovers get asked about “Cream or sugar?”, while tea enthusiasts receive questions like “Lemon or honey?”
   1. Choose the field after the trigger conditions (“If”), such as “Coffee or tea?”
   2. Select a detailed criteria (e.g., “is equal to”).
   3. Specify the value from the field that must be met for the logic to execute (e.g., “Coffee”).
      
4. Determine the outcome when this condition is met:
   1. Select an action (“then”), such as “show”.
   2. Choose the field to which the action applies (e.g., “Cream or sugar?”).
5. Repeat the process for the “tea” answer to the “Coffee or tea?” question.
6. Return to the form builder and preview how your logic works.

Useful tip #1: filtering multiple Form Logics

Managing numerous logics can be like searching for a needle in a haystack. Fear not! PlatoForms offers two ways to filter and locate specific logics:

• Option 1: Click the Logic button, and the Logic panel will display all logics related to a specific field.
• Option 2: Use the filter bar to search by Field ID or Field Label. Type in the relevant information, and Voila—the relevant logics appear.

Useful tip #2: reusing field content in your online forms

You have the flexibility to recycle identical field content across any page of your PDF. Achieving this in an online PDF form is made possible through the application of form logic. 

Let’s dive into a practical example: imagine duplicating the content from “Signature #74” to “Signature #75”. The beauty of this lies in the seamless automation – when a respondent signs on “Signature #74”, presto! Their signature magically mirrors on “Signature #75”, eliminating the hassle of redundant entries.

Note: Make sure to set conditions for both “is answered” and “is not answered.” This ensures that when “Signature #74” is cleared, “Signature #75” will also be cleared.
