Using Inline vs. Display Logic

Overview

A user can display content on a Form based on different conditions.

When configuring a Logic Rule, the Actions dropdown menu lists Inline Actions and Display Actions.

Inline Actions happen on the same page.

Display Actions happen on a different page.

Inline Actions

Inline Actions are actions that happen on the same page.

Display Actions

Display Actions are actions that happen on a different page.

Example Scenario

Two questions are used in the example:

1) Will you be joining us for dinner?

2) Do you have any dietary restrictions?

If the user wants the question "Do you have any dietary restrictions?" to appear directly under the question "Will you be joining us for dinner?" when the answer is "Yes," the Inline Actions - Display Questions option from the Select Action dropdown should be used when creating the Logic Rule. In this case, the Online Form Sequence would need to have the Question Section and Logic Rule on the same page.

If the user wants the question to appear on a separate page based on certain conditions, the Display Actions - Display Questions or Agenda Items option should be used when creating the Logic Rule. In this case, the Online Form Sequence would need to have the Logic Rule on the page directly after the Question Section with the conditional question.

Confirm

If you would like the question to appear on a separate page based on certain conditions, you would use the Display Actions - Display Questions or Agenda Items option when creating the Logic Rule. In this case, your Online Form Sequence would need to have the Logic Rule on the page directly after the Question Section with the conditional question.
