About

Repeatable sections allow users to enter a variable number of entries for the same set of questions -- typically used for entering things like parts, labor, or material line items.  For example, a work order may collect several pieces of information, such as part number, quantity, and price, and allow users to collect that information for multiple parts. 

When building forms, Repeatable Sections let you build a single copy of these questions, and then specify how many times they can be re-used.   This reduces the need for multiple pages in a form, and makes entering information much faster.

In the mobile app, entered line items are laid out in a summary table view, making it easy for mobile users to review their work, and providing a form layout that looks more similar to the paper or Excel forms your mobile users may be familiar with.

Summary Table

Repeatable sections are easily identified in the mobile app by the summary table format.  The summary table displays all of the entries that have been created in the repeatable section. You have full control over which columns appear. 

Adding Entries

1. Tap on the Add Entry button.

2. This will bring up a new screen with all the questions in the repeatable section.  There is no limit on the allowed number of questions.  When you have answered all the required questions, tap Done on the top right. 

 3. This will take you back to the summary table view.  The item will be added to the table. The "Footer" can automatically aggregate any numeric question, making calculations easy.
