About Branching Logic in Forms

Logic let's you branch out to different paths.

Branching can shorten and streamline your Forms — guaranteeing that only relevant fields are shown to team members. (They will appreciate it!)

In this use case, we'll build three branches into a single Risk Report Form — applying logic to Medical, Non-Medical, and Missing Person incidents. Picking any one of the three branches will send team members down a custom path.

Combo 4

Also, notice the Link Record field in the three Branches above. This allows you to pull Related Records from other Forms — as was the case in Lesson 6 Link Records & Risk Reports. Attaching Incident/Issue Records to Risk Records can avoid a duplication of effort.

Branch 1: Medical

New Med combo

Add your questions regarding Medical risks one-by-one, then add Logic to tie them all together.

  1. Pick Add Field

  2. Pick the Select field type

  3. Enter your Field NameWas the person injured?

  4. Enter your answer choice options → Yes & No→ colors optional

  2. In the Add display logic drop-down, select the parent field → Risk a Risk Option

    Add Risk option Medical

  3. Select the branch option → Medical

  5. Use the Logic tab to set the above Injury Description field to trigger when Yes is selected

  6. Click ✓ Save Changes to preserve your work

  1. Add a Select field with the prompt → Has the Risk Team made contact?

    • Add Yes/No options
    • Trigger the Logic to branch to this new Select box by a Missing Person selection from the Risk Reporting field
