Add logic fields

Learn how to add logic fields to your templates via the web app and mobile app to help you tailor question flows, prompt relevant follow-ups, and capture more accurate, actionable data.

How do logic fields work?

When you add a logic field to a question, you set a condition that determines when it appears. If the response meets that condition during an inspection, the logic field is triggered and shows a follow-up question, requires a note or media, creates an action, sends a notification, or completes the inspection immediately. One question can have multiple conditions, each with its own trigger and logic fields. Triggered logic fields can also have their own conditions.

Logic fields can only be added to questions that use supported response types, including multiple-choice, text answer, number, checkbox, slider, signature, and person and document number on the title page. The conditions available to you depend on which response type you're using. For example, number questions offer range-based conditions, while checkbox questions offer checked or unchecked. This ensures every inspection captures the right data and triggers the right actions.

Make sure the question uses a supported response type before adding logic fields.

Published changes made to templates only apply to new inspections moving forward.

Add a logic field

  1. Log in to the web app.

  2. Select Templates in the sidebar or select it in More.

  3. Click the template and select Edit template in the side panel.

  4. Select the question you want to add a logic field to and make sure the selected response type is supported.

  5. Click Add logic below the question label.

  6. Depending on how you want to trigger the logic field, set up the following:

    • Click the default logic condition if you want to select a different one.

    • Choose the response that will trigger the logic field. Add logic conditions to a question via the web app.

  7. Click trigger.

  8. Select the logic fields that will appear when the condition is met and configure them accordingly: Ask questions, Notify, Require note, Require media, Require action, or Skip to complete. Add logic fields in a question in the Template Editor.

  9. Click Publish on the upper-right of the page to publish the template. If you're not ready to publish the template, you can go back to the template list and come back when you're ready.

You can build your templates using other response types, such as text answer, number, and media.

Limitations

  • You can only add up to 40 nested logic fields, including questions or sections, inside a logic condition.

  • Only up to 500 users can be notified at a time. If an organization or group exceeds this limit, 500 users are randomly selected to receive the notification.

  • Notify logic does not keep its selected recipients when you share a template with another organization. After the other organization receives the template, they must review the logic and select recipients in their own organization.

  • You can only apply "Skip to complete" once per logic condition in a question.

  • If "Skip to complete" is selected, you can no longer use "Ask questions," and vice versa.

  • When "Skip to complete" is triggered, the approval page is also skipped. The approval notification will not be sent to the recipient.
