A Repeating Section allows you to capture multiple entries for the same type of data within a form, such as entering details for multiple children, employees, or products. This guide walks you through creating a Repeating Section in your form.
Instructions
1. Open the Form Editor
- Navigate to the form where you want to add the Repeating Section. Click on Forms in the main menu, then select the form to edit.
2. Create a New Section
- In the form editor, click on Add Section to create a new section within the form.
3. Enable Repeating Functionality
- In the section properties, tick the Repeatable checkbox to enable the repeating functionality for this section.
4. Set Repetition Rules
- Set the Minimum Repetitions to specify how many instances must be entered (at least 1).
- Set the Maximum Repetitions to limit how many instances can be entered (up to 99). Consider your document's requirements before setting these values.
- Note: When setting maximum/minimum limits, consider the specific requirements of the document and whether legitimate limits should be enforced. Otherwise, set realistic limits or allow the full range of 1-99.
5. Optional: Separate Pages for Each Repeat
- If you want each repeat to appear on a separate page, tick the New Page checkbox. Otherwise, the repeats will be listed on a single page.
6. Save the Section
- Once you’ve configured your Repeating Section, click Save to apply the changes. The section will now appear with “Repeatable” in the section banner, indicating that it is repeatable.
Common Issues & Solutions
- Issue: Repeating Section is not saving.
