2.3. Sections

Sections are used to:

• Add explanatory text or headings to a set of fields
• Create a new page on a multi-page form
• Change the layout on some fields without changing the layout of the entire form

Sections are created the same way as fields -- you can click the New Section button at the bottom of the builder, or drag and drop it into your form in order to create a new section.  They behave much the same way as fields and are counted as fields for pricing.

Sections are also edited, copied, deleted or moved the same way as fields -- hover your mouse over the section and click on one of the icons to perform the appropriate action.

Conditional Logic for Sections

Just as you can use Conditional Logic for fields, you can also use the feature for whole sections on forms. This is perfect for long forms that may have multiple sections which all users don't have to fill out.  You do not have to apply logic to every field inside of a section, just the section itself, as any logic applied to a section will also be applied to all fields within that section.

Copying a Section

If you want to copy a section, hover your cursor over the section in the form builder and then click on the duplicate button.  This will bring up a pop-up asking you if you want to duplicate the section content or the section and the fields under it.  This feature is great for grouping and duplicating multiple fields on your form at once.
