🔀 Conditional Fields
Introduction to Conditional Fields
Conditional Fields is a feature in FormNX that allows you to make your forms more dynamic and user-friendly.
You can set up rules to control the visibility of form fields based on the responses users provide in other fields.
This helps streamline the form-filling process and ensures that users only see the fields that are relevant to their inputs.

Creating Conditional Form fields
To create conditional logic/Form fields for your forms in FormNX, follow these steps:
- Open Form Builder: Create a new form or click edit of existing form.
- Settings Tab: Click on Settings Tab in your form builder.
- Conditions Section: Click on conditions section under Settings tab in form builder
- Define Conditions: Add conditions based on your requirements. You can use conditions such as Equals, Not Equals, Empty, or Not Empty. For example, you can set a condition to show the field only if another field's value equals "Yes."
Show/Hide An Element when Different Element Equals To/Not Equals To/Empty/Not Empty value
- Save Your Changes: Don't forget to save your conditional logic settings by clicking on "Publish Form" button.
Directly add Conditional logic to show/hide the current element from elements setting
Here's how to use the Condition field:
Open the Form Builder: In FormNX, open the form where you’d like to add conditional logic.
Select the Element: Click on the element for which you want to set a condition.
Find the Condition Section: On the right side, locate the “Condition” tab. This is where you'll set up rules for when the element should be shown or hidden.
Add a New Condition:
- Click Add Condition.
- Choose the element whose response will control the visibility of the current element (e.g., show currnt element based on a previous answer).
- Define the Rule:
- Select the trigger response that will show or hide your current element.
- For example, if you want to show this element only when the answer to another question is “Yes,” set the condition to display only if that element’s response is “Yes.”
- Save: Click on "Publish Form" to confirm your condition.
Example Use Cases of Conditional Fields:
Example 1: Show Additional Information
Suppose you have a survey form, and one of the questions is, "Do you own a pet?"
If the respondent answers "Yes," you can use conditional logic to show additional questions related to pet ownership, such as the type of pet and its name.
Condition: If "Do you own a pet?" equals "Yes" Action: Show fields "Pet Type" and "Pet Name"
Example 2: Employment Application
In an employment application form, you can use Conditional Fields to show different sections of the form based on the applicant's experience level.
For instance, show a "Skills Assessment" section only if the applicant selects "Experienced" as their experience level.
Condition: If "Experience Level" equals "Experienced" Action: Show the "Skills Assessment" section
These are just a few examples of how you can use Conditional Fields to create more dynamic and customized forms in FormNX.
