Conditional Content Blocks for NEX-Forms

Introduction to Conditional Content Blocks for NEX-Forms

Conditional Content Blocks are a powerful feature in NEX-Forms that allow you to dynamically show or hide content based on specific conditions. This feature is ideal for creating complex forms with conditional logic, reducing friction, and improving the user experience. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the process of creating and using Conditional Content Blocks in NEX-Forms.

What are Conditional Content Blocks?

Conditional Content Blocks are reusable content blocks that can be placed anywhere in your form and can be shown or hidden based on specific conditions. These conditions can be set based on various factors, such as:

• The value of a form field
• The selection made in a dropdown or checkbox
• The presence or absence of a specific keyword or phrase
• The result of a calculation
• And many more...

Why Use Conditional Content Blocks?

Conditional Content Blocks offer several benefits, including:

• Reduced complexity: By hiding or showing content based on conditions, you can simplify your forms and reduce the amount of information that users need to provide.
• Improved user experience: Conditional Content Blocks can help guide users through the form by showing relevant information and hiding irrelevant sections.
• Increased accuracy: By limiting the amount of information that users can input, you can reduce the likelihood of errors and incomplete forms.
