Build a questionnaire using multiple select answers
Hello, I am not sure I am phrasing this question correctly. My new employer (Financial services) has a client on boarding process that relies heavily on Word documents for information gatheri...

Brizzo27 no that isn't possible: as branching won't work the same way with multi-select answers. They would need to complete a form for each service they required. Branching from an individual response in a multi-select answer isn't do-able, you can only branch to a specific section.

Brizzo27 yes this can be done easily with Forms. You would have a section for each of the example services. Then use branching to take the user to the appropriate section and question based on what they selected in Question 1. So if Company Tax Registration was selected in Q1 then you would tell the form to branch to the first question the Company Tax Registration section and then down to each of the subsequent questions in that section until you got to the last question which would then branch to the end of the form. Same with each of the other services.

Ah I see, so a section first for each service, then branching.
I will try this now and revert.
Thank you very much.

Brizzo27 add the sections, then add the questions in each section and finally do the branching.

Hi,
I hope I have not misunderstood.
Can you advise if they were to select multiple options?
How you describe works well for one service:
Company Tax Registration Required -> Yes -> Branch to the relevant section -> complete details ->Submit
But if they also wanted to add more services, how can this be built in?
An example:
A new company would like to have the services "Tax Registration" and "Salary Services", but are not interested "Voluntary Strike-Off" services.
Section 1: "Tax Registration" -> Yes
Section 2: "Salary Services" -> Yes
Section 3: "Voluntary Strike-off" -> No
Then a bunch of fields relating to those selections would show.
Can this be done in forms?
To build a form based on multiple previous answers, rather than branching to terminate after one selection.
Thank you
