Using a Repeating Question or Section in a Form

Sometimes, you need to answer a question, or a group of questions, more than once in a single form. For instance, capturing multiple signatures for a toolbox talk or logging several visitor names on a sign-in form.

Site App Pro gives you two ways to do this: Repeating Questions and Repeating Sections.

Repeating a Single Question

This feature is used to repeat one single question as many times as needed. The most common use is for repeating a "Signature" question so your whole team can sign off on the same form.

How to Set it Up (Admin Console)

1. Log in to the Admin Console (computer side).
2. Click on the Forms tab.
3. Open an existing form or create a new one.
4. Click on the question you would like to repeat (e.g., a Signature question).
5. At the bottom of the question's settings, toggle ON the switch that says "Allow multiple answers".
6. Save the form.

How it Works on the Mobile App

1. Your team will answer the question as normal (e.g., add their signature).
2. A grey button labelled "REPEAT PREVIOUS QUESTION" will appear.
3. They can tap this button to add another answer, and repeat this process for as many signatures as they need.

Repeating a Group of Questions (Repeating Section)

A repeating section allows you to repeat a whole block of several questions at once. This is perfect for visitor sign-in forms where you need to capture a Name, Phone Number, and Email for each person.

How to Set it Up (Admin Console)

Repeating sections are created using Section Headers.

1. Log in to the Admin Console and open your form.
2. Drag a "Section Header" into your form to mark the beginning of your repeating block.
3. Give the section a name (e.g., "Visitor Details").

4. At the bottom of this Section Header's settings, toggle ON the switch that says "Allow multiple answers".

   

5. Add all the questions you want to repeat directly below this header (e.g., Question: Name, Question: Phone, Question: Email).
6. To end the repeating block, you must add another Section Header after the last question. Any questions you add below this second header will not repeat.

Important: A repeating section will repeat all questions below it until it hits the next Section Header (or the end of the form). If you don't add a second Section Header to close the section, the rest of your form will become part of the repeating block.

How it Works on the Mobile App

1. Your team will fill out the group of questions in the section.
2. A grey button labelled "REPEAT PREVIOUS SECTION" will appear.
3. They can tap this button to get a fresh, blank set of those same questions, allowing them to log the next visitor.

Key Rules to Remember

• You cannot put a "Repeating Question" inside a "Repeating Section".
• A Section Header can be used to end one repeating section and start a new one at the same time.
