Add Groups to Collect Forms

The Add Group feature allows fields to be grouped together within a form. Multiple groups can be created but each field can only be added to one group.

 

Grouped fields will be displayed on the mobile device in a collapsible/expandable view.

Add Group

 

Two methods are available to add a group. The first method is to click the Add Group button on the Fields section of the Form Setup page on the Template Designer page.

Col-Grouped_Fields

The Add Group window will appear displaying the available fields. Fields currently assigned to a field grouping or combined field display their current group name under the Group or Combined columns in the dialog. Ungrouped fields will not display any Group (or Combined) column title. Create a Group Name and check the boxes of the fields to be added to the group. Click the OK button at the bottom of the Add Group window.

Note: When creating a group, selecting a field that already belongs to a Group will move that field from its current Group to the newly created Group. A warning will be displayed below the field in red, when selecting fields that belong to other groups.
