Who is this article for?Administrators building forms.
Report admin permissions are required.
Sometimes you will have a form that needs to repeat sections in order to gather all the required information. Instead of adding the same field over and over you can add a repeating section that the user can add every time they need to fill it in.
For Example: If you are filling in an accident report you may have more than one injured person. A repeating section can be used to capture the injured person details. If you have 5 injured people then the section will repeat 5 times.
This article outlines the steps to create a repeating section and add this to your form.
