Fluix Conditional Logic in Forms: Complete Tasks Faster with Only the Fields You Need

Forms are everywhere in fieldwork: inspections, checklists, safety reports, audits, customer approvals. Often, they’re  long, repetitive, and have questions you don’t necessarily need to answer within your task. Which leads to extra scrolling, and wasted time.

That can be avoided with Conditional Logic. It makes your forms dynamic, responsive, and optimized to different scenarios.

In this article, we’ll cover what Conditional Logic is, its key features and applications within forms, as well as customer feedback and FAQs.

Note: Conditional Logic in Forms is available starting with the Basic plan. Compare Fluix plans on our pricing page to see all available features.

What Is Conditional Logic in Forms?

Conditional logic is a rule-based feature that changes a form’s behavior in real time based on user input. Instead of showing every field to every worker, it adapts to what’s actually relevant.

Here’s what it does:

• Shows or hides sections depending on answers
• Makes fields required only when necessary
• Locks fields as read-only for data integrity
• Prevents irrelevant data entry

In Fluix, you can set rules with conditions like:

• is / is not
• is empty / is not empty
• contains / does not contain
• more than / less than

They are flexible. Which lets you build smarter, situation-specific forms. For example:

• Showing extra inspection steps if equipment has over 10,000 operating hours
• Triggering additional safety sign-offs if a hazard is reported
• Adding customer approval only when a premium service type is selected

Examples of Automated Field Actions

Once your condition is met, Fluix automatically applies your chosen action:

• Make visible → Display hidden fields only when relevant
• Make required → Enforce completion before submission
• Make read-only → Lock data fields for compliance and consistency
• Hide → Keep unnecessary fields out of sight and out of mind

How it can work for different industries:

Construction: Equipment log form.

• If heavy machinery is selected → additional safety fields appear.
• If small tools are logged → those fields remain hidden.

Aviation: A pre-flight checklist asks, “Has the engine failed?”

• If Yes → fields appear for cause, corrective action, and supervisor sign-off.
• If No → those fields stay hidden, keeping the inspection quick and relevant.

Facility Management: Maintenance request form.

• If repair cost > $5,000 → manager approval fields are required.
• If < $5,000 → form bypasses extra sign-offs for speed.
