Capturing quantity in Progressive Capture Forms

[dwalby]

Hi all,

Is it possible to somehow capture quantities within Progressive Capture custom forms?

As an example, I've just created a 'IT Equipment Request' form, which asks the user to specify the IT equipment they require, however, on occasion users may request 10 x monitors for their dept./team.

Also, in the same scenario example is it possible to allow the user to select their colleagues who'll be receiving the equipment? Like a co-worker search for example, but allow multiple selections?

Thank in advance

Been thinking about this a little further. Originally I was using a simple list I'd created that detailed our standard equipment offerings and had this as a dynamic checkbox field. This would of course not provide the ability to specify a quantity next to each option.

Instead I'm guessing the only way to do it would be to have a individual field for each equipment type, seperated by a 'single line text' field underneath to specify quantity. Unless there's an easier way to do it.

@dwalby you could keep the check box list as it is and have dynamic fields for each line on the checkbox list.

So if they select monitor then a new line pops up underneath asking how many.

Probably easier to show you.....

@Dan Munns - Thanks that may be a better option, I'll try it out.

Hi @dwalby

Something else that you might be interested in is a new feature for conditional fields on a single Progressive Capture Custom form.  There is some documentation here and it is accompanied by this video...

@James Ainsworth - Glad to see another great feature on the way, I'll experiment with it in the meantime. Thank you.
