# Conditional Forms

Conditional forms let practices dynamically show questions in intake and post-visit forms based on a patient's responses to other questions. This lets a single form serve multiple purposes, gather additional detail around specific areas, or gate information based on responses.

## Accessing conditional forms

Conditional forms are created in the **Templates** section under **Utilities**.

Click **+ Create New Template** to create a new form with conditional questions.

## Creating a conditional form

Conditional questions can be added after any supported trigger question. Any question that follows a supported question type shows a **Conditional Question** checkbox. Once checked, select the trigger question and the trigger response that should reveal the conditional question.

<Note>
  Currently, only **Single-Choice** and **Yes/No** question types are supported to trigger a conditional question.

Once a question is marked as conditional, it won't appear in the patient's form until the correct response is given to the trigger question.

## Filling out conditional forms

When patients receive a conditional form, they access it the same way as any other form. Conditional forms can be sent through **Outreach Flows**, **Patient Workflows**, or a specific appointment's intake forms.

After authenticating into the form, patients fill it out normally. Once they select a conditional response to a trigger question, the new conditional questions appear automatically. Changing their response to a non-conditional response — or to a different conditional branch — updates which questions appear.

## Reviewing conditional form responses

Conditional form responses appear in the patient's **Attachments** section like any other form response. The PDF of the patient's responses includes all questions, but only shows responses to the questions that were surfaced to the patient.

### FAQ

<Accordion title="Which question types can trigger a conditional question?">
  Only **Single-Choice** and **Yes/No** questions can act as trigger questions. A conditional question can be added after any question that follows one of these supported types.
</Accordion>

<Accordion title="How do I send a conditional form to patients?">
  Conditional forms are sent the same way as any other form — through **Outreach Flows**, **Patient Workflows**, or a specific appointment's intake forms.
</Accordion>

<Accordion title="What happens if a patient changes their answer to a trigger question?">
  The form updates as they answer. Selecting a non-conditional response, or a different conditional branch, changes which conditional questions appear.
</Accordion>

<Accordion title="Do skipped conditional questions appear in the response PDF?">
  The PDF includes every question in the form, but only shows responses to the questions that were actually surfaced to the patient.
