Field rules accept the operators greater than<\/em> and less than<\/em>. They make form branching a lot faster to set up. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Let’s take an use case to showcase the usage of field rules with operators greater than <\/em>and less than<\/em>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The easiest example that proves the usefulness of this feature involves File Upload<\/b> fields. If you want to show the appropriate number of File Upload<\/b> fields in a form based on user selection, you can do so really quickly using the operator greater than<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Without these operators, field rules would overwrite each other and you would need to add a greater number of fields and rules to your form. With the two operators, you only need as many File Upload<\/b> fields and rules as the maximum number of files that can be uploaded by users.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How to set up conditional logic<\/a> with the operators greater than<\/em> and less than<\/em>? In your form builder<\/a> account, select your form, and go to the Rules<\/b> section and click Add Rule<\/b>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Field<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Select the fields that will be affected by this rule. In the dropdown list containing the operators, select is greater than<\/em><\/b> (or is less than<\/em><\/b>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Greater<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Firstly, since users can upload one file per File Upload<\/b> field, the idea was to show the exact number of fields that the form users needed (and which they were asked to specify in a previous field).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Secondly, without the operators greater than<\/em> and less than<\/em>, the number of File Upload<\/b> fields and field rules that had to be set up was much higher than the maximum number of files users could upload. So there you go, now it’s solved!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Of course, there are other wonderful ways of using this feature. Feel free to experiment and leave a comment about it — we’d love to hear your ideas!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
