Accordion

Hello

I need to create an accordion form.
All the documentation I read say I must create a PageBreak Field, but, that is not an option?

I bought and installed it yesterday.

How do I make it work?

Hello Zee8501,

the documentation you have read is correct.
The 'Pagebreak' field is not an option but a dedicated form field, that you add to the form fields as all the other field types.

The 'Pagebreak' field behaves differently according to a specific form configuration setting.
In the form configuration on tab 'Advanced' in section 'Multi Page Form Settings' the parameter 'Display as' controls the behavior of the 'Pagebreak' field.

In your case, you have to set the value of 'Display as' to 'Accordion', in order to get the accordion segmentation.
You start each accordion segment with a page-break field in your form.
The page-break field may/should be the very first field.

If you set the value of 'Display as' to 'Multiple Pages', you get multiple pages.
You start each new page with a page-break field in your form.
The page-break field must not be the very first field, because the first page is default (no page-break field necessary).

Hope this helps!

Best regards, Ingmar

Hello, Thank you for the reply.

Under the Form Options -> Advanced, I have:
Data Export
Layout
Fileuploads

I also do not see it anywhere else?

Also, under the field options, I do not have PageBreak as an option?

Dear Zee8501,

no, you do not have PageBreak as an option!
You have PageBreak (a page-break or a accordion section) as a form field of type 'Pagebreak'.
For this you have to add a form field of type 'pagebreak' wherever an accordion section should start.

Here is a complete example form for you to examine in further details ...

The example accordion form on the site looks like this:

The complete field list of the form has three fields of type 'pagebreak':

The first field in the list of type 'pagebreak' looks like this:

And the setting of form configuration on tab 'Advanced' (almost at the bottom) looks like this:

Hope this helps and good luck, Ingmar

Thank you for the reply.

I do not have an Multi Page settings?

And I cannot Add a field PageBreak?? 


 

Hello Zee8501,

thank you for the clarifying images and I am sorry for your trouble!
Obviously you bought a 'Visforms Subscription' package but installed only the 'Visforms Base' package yesterday.

You also have to install the 'Visforms Subscription' package, which gives you more options, layouts, plugins and features.
Without the 'Visforms Subscription' package installed, you do not have an Multi Page settings and you cannot add a field PageBreak.

Best regards, Ingmar
