turn on/off numbers for each question

 

The following settings can be changed so that the phase does not show the numbers before each question (i.e., 1. Question, 2. Q , 3. Q, 4, etc..)

• Open the Form Settings and scroll down through the Properties
• Click the drop-down arrow next to the Question settings

 

• Turn on/off the question numbers through the drop-down

 

 

retain data for questions that are not visible to applicants

 

If there are fields that you want to remain unseen by applicants, use the following step:

• Click on the relevant question box, and scroll down through the Properties
• Click the drop-down arrow next to General settings
• Set the Show to Applicant toggle to NO under the General Properties. This will hide the question from the applicant.

 

To preserve the data within hidden questions, complete the following steps:

• Click on Form Setting at the top of the page
• Click on the drop-down arrow next to Data settings
• Under the Clear invisible values field, select none
• Un-check the box for Store ‘others’ values in separate field

 

restrict applicants from moving forward if *required questions are unanswered

 

To prevent applicants from moving to the next page of the phase when a required question has not been answered, use the following steps.

From the Form Setting properties:

• Click the drop-down menu for Validation
• Select onNextPage from the Check errors mode dropdown

 

restrict the applicant from moving forward until they enter an acceptable answer to a question

 
If questions must have a specific answer for the applicant to progress through the application (i.e. screening or eligibility questions), the following steps can be helpful in customizing the error message an applicant might receive.

 

 

 

From the Form Setting properties:

• Click the drop-down from Validation settings
• Select onValueChanged from the Check errors mode dropdown

The next steps will be completed using the properties section of the selected Question (using question1 for this example.)

1. Click on the Question box you want to restrict
2. Select the Properties button just above the question dropdown
3. Open the Validation settings menu

1. Click on the + symbol to add a new Validator
2. Add expression as the new Validator
3. Enter the text that you want to populate when an applicant enters an incorrect answer
4. Select the question you want the correct answer (set in step 5) to apply to
5. Enter the correct answer in the Value text box

 

 

 

 

 

You can test using Test Form at the top of the page to confirm the validator works as expected.



The applicant will not be able to move forward until they enter the correct answer.
 

allow comment-type questions to auto-grow

A best practice going forward with comment-type questions is to enable the Auto-grow comment setting. This can be done in Form Properties > Question settings:

After clicking on the Question setting drop-down bar:

• Scroll down until you see the check box next to Auto grow comment
• Check the box and Save
