Dynamically or Conditionally Skipping elements from an Email Report

Good afternoon all,

Is it at all possible to "Skip" an element from the Email Report based on the selection from a pick list in another element.

 

Example: 

I have multiple (80+) questions in the form, what questions are shown to the end user is conditionally set by Q1

 

I have Q1 as a Pick List item "Inspection Type" and I select Item 1 in the list.

Q2 is visible to the end user due to it being relevant to this inspection type via its Conditional Value being set to "inspection_type==0"

Q3 doesn't show to the end user as its not relevant to this inspection and its Conditional Value being "inspection_type==1"

This pattern follows for all questions.

The problem I have is, in the email report, all answers are shown some of which are from questions not relevant for the report. Is there a way for me to only show the questions in the report that match the Value set in Q1?

I hope this makes sense?

Thank you in advance

 

Steve

  Hi Steve,

  Thank you for posting your question. Currently, we have Element Reference ID's that can hide elements in reports (PDF, Email) or the data table but there is no way to dynamically use this feature. A field should not appear in the report if those fields do not get filled out/set to blank. It sounds like in your example that fields that do not satisfy the condition will remain hidden so these fields should not be showing up in the report as long as there is no dynamic value setting the element to a value.
  
  Please let me know if you have any other questions or concerns about this.

  Best,

  Stella

  Hi Stella, 

  Happy New Year, its great to hear from you again - thank you for your reply, it has solved my problem with your statement "set to blank". Currently all answers are set to N/A for ease of use and completing the forms quicker, that way the user doesn't have to answer everything. I didn't realise that was my downfall.
  Thank you for the assistance.
  
  Kind regards,
  
  Steve
