Conditional Logic

Learn about Conditional Logic within Maica Forms

Conditional logic lets you show or hide fields and sections based on how the respondent answers other questions. This keeps forms focused — respondents only see what is relevant to them.

Where Logic Can Be Applied

• On a field — Show or hide this field based on answers elsewhere in the form

• On a section — Show or hide the entire section based on answers elsewhere in the form

Setting Up a Condition

1

Select the field or section you want to conditionally show/hide

2

Open the Logic tab in the right-hand settings panel

3

Click + Add condition

4

Choose:

• Which field to watch (the trigger field)

• Which operator to use

• Which value to compare against (if required)

5

Choose whether all conditions must be true (AND) or any can be true (OR)

Operators

Operator	Meaning	Requires a value?
Equals	The field's value exactly matches	Yes
Does not equal	The field's value does not match	Yes
Contains	The field's value includes the given text	Yes
Does not contain	The field's value does not include the given text	Yes
Is not empty	The field has any value at all	No
Is empty	The field has no value	No
Greater than	Numeric value is greater than (for number fields)	Yes
Less than	Numeric value is less than (for number fields)	Yes

AND vs OR Logic

When you have multiple conditions on a single field or section:

• All conditions must be true (AND) — The field/section appears only when every condition is satisfied simultaneously

• Any condition can be true (OR) — The field/section appears when at least one condition is satisfied

Default Visibility

By default, a field or section is visible until a condition hides it. If you add conditions, the field starts hidden and only appears when the conditions are met.

If you want the opposite (show by default, hide on a specific answer), you can use a Does not equal or Is empty condition.

Conditions and Wizard Mode

In wizard (multi-step) mode, conditional logic still works across sections — a field in step 3 can be shown or hidden based on an answer from step 1. However, sections themselves can also be conditionally hidden, which means they are skipped entirely in the wizard flow.

Helpful Tips

• You can only reference fields that appear before the current field or section in the form order. Forward references are not supported.

• Conditions on sections apply to the whole section — you cannot partially show a section's fields based on conditions.

• Hidden fields are not submitted. If a field is hidden by logic when the form is submitted, its value is not included in the submission data and will not be sent to Salesforce.
