How does conditional logic work in site survey forms?

Conditional logic in SiteSurvey forms controls which questions appear based on the answers already given. For example, selecting "Fail" on an inspection item can automatically reveal a follow-up question asking for the defect category, a photo, and a remedial action note, while a "Pass" answer keeps those fields hidden.

Rules are configured in the form builder using a simple condition editor. You set a trigger field, a condition (equals, does not equal, contains, is greater than, and so on), and a target field or section to show or hide. Multiple conditions can be combined with AND or OR logic for more complex branching.

Using conditional logic keeps forms shorter and easier to complete in the field. Operatives only see questions that are relevant to the specific asset or situation in front of them, which reduces cognitive load and speeds up completion time. It also prevents irrelevant blank fields from appearing in submitted data.

Conditional logic integrates with workflows in SiteSurvey. A response to a conditional field can trigger an automated notification, create a follow-up task, or route the form for supervisor approval, connecting data capture directly to your operational process.
