Add Conditional Fields to the Document for eSignature
How to add conditional fields with airSlate SignNow
If you want your fillable forms to look more professional while ensuring the consistency and accuracy of the completion process, consider setting up conditional fields. A conditional field becomes available for filling once another specified field (or fields) is completed (or left blank).
Let’s say you need a couple of text fields to appear in a form under the condition that one of your checkboxes is checked. Here’s how you do it with airSlate SignNow.
Add fillable fields
Select the Checkbox Field in the left-hand toolbar and drop it on your document. Add as many checkbox fields as you need

Then, add text fields. Adjust their size and positioning to properly fit in the blanks.

Make fields conditional
Now you need to make sure that your text fields only become visible if your recipient checks the Yes checkbox.
Select the first text field, open the Advanced dropdown in the sidebar on the right, and check the Make this field conditional checkbox.

Choose the field that will trigger the condition. Open the upper dropdown in the Hide this field until section and select Choose by clicking. Click on the Yes checkbox that you added previously.

Finally, select the condition for the chosen field. In our case, we need the Yes checkbox checked to trigger the condition. Select the corresponding option from the lower dropdown and click Ok to finish. Repeat the same process for the second text field.

Now, when a recipient gets your eSignature invite, they will not see the given text fields until they fulfill the predefined condition — which is checking the Yes checkbox.
