🧩 Multitask
The Multitask option lets exhibitors complete several tasks (or form fields) within a single main Task, allowing you to create complex forms with multiple sub-tasks.
To set up a Multitask form:
-
Add Sub-Tasks: Click the +Add Sub-Task button to add multiple sub-tasks within the main Task.
-
Configure Sub-Task Fields:
- In the pop-up window, fill out the fields for each sub-task, similar to creating a main task.
- You’ll see fields for Title, Response Type, and Notes:
- Title: Enter a clear label for the sub-task (e.g., “Company Name” or “Contact Email”).
- Response Type: Choose the response type (e.g., text, dropdown, checkbox) to determine how exhibitors can answer this sub-task.
- Notes: Add any additional information or instructions for the exhibitor, if needed.
-
Set Required Answers:
- Use the Sub-Task Answer Required toggle to specify if an answer is required. Turn this on if the exhibitor must complete this field to submit the task.
-
Save the Sub-Task:
- Click Submit to add the sub-task to your main Task.
Repeat these steps to add as many sub-tasks as needed. Each sub-task will function as a form field within the main Task.
