Conditional fields

When creating fields on forms on the InEvent platform, it is possible to add conditional fields. This means you can add a second field which will only appear depending on the answer that the participant gives to a specific field on the form.

To do this, you will use the Field Parent Selection function, which serves as a conditional to attach a field to an answer.

You can add conditional fields to the four types of forms offered by InEvent:

1. Registration form
2. Feedback form
3. Custom Form
4. Abstract form

How do I create a conditional field?

Once you are on the registration, feedback, abstract or custom form, you can create conditional fields through the following two-step process:

• First, create a parent field.
• Next, add a child field (The visibility of the child field depends on a participant's answer to the parent field on the form).
