Table of contents in form (like a PDF)

Greetings (first time poster),

I’d like to create a form that has a number of sections, with subsections.  Each subsection has a similar layout, though the qustions and guidance may be a litte different in each subsection.  It’s organized like this:

  • Section - opening sections with instructions
  • Section
    • Subsection
    • Subsection
    • Subsection
  • Section
    • Subsection
    • Subsection
    • Subsection
    • Subsection
  • Section - closeing sections with a few questions

I’d like to present this structure on the left side, similar to the Table of Contents in a PDF.  The user clicks on a section or subsection and, on the right side (main pane), is presented with a set of questions.  (The types of responses can can be multiple choice, a text field, a scale from 1 to 7 ,and a list of responses to a question (preferably with a + button  that let’s them add a text item to a list (up to 10).  But first I need to know how oto create the basic sructure I need).

How can I accomplish this structure?

TIA

Hi @A Form Guy Thanks for stopping by! We don’t have this feature available, but could you embed the form on your website to then show a table of contents?

Thanks ​@Liz 
I’m trying to do the same thing. I have an embedded form so can create a TOC on the left side of my page. Challenge I’m having is being able to link from the TOC to specific sections of the form.

My form uses question groups so it’s cleanly categorized. I want users to be able to jump around the form answering the questions that are relevant to them, as not everything is applicable to everyone. I thought the block reference codes would help but no luck so far.

thanks a bunch

Tim.

Hi ​@8wire would using logic and potentially variables work, if you want people to be able skip questions that aren’t relevant to them?
