How to split a card into multiple independent forms, each with its own rules and conditionals
In Jestor, a single card can have more than one form in the side panels — not just one general form, but as many as needed, each with its own conditionals, permissions, and content type.
Why is splitting a card into multiple forms useful?
Putting all of a process's information into a single form leaves the card cluttered: approval information mixed with cost center data, long text, attachments, and action buttons all jumbled together.
How does Jestor let you have several forms on the same card?
- You can have one form with the record's general information and another, separate one, with just the approval buttons.
- Each additional form follows the same rules as a superform: display conditionals, fields that appear or disappear depending on the stage, and edit permissions.
- You can visually tell each form apart with its own color.
- Each form accepts a variety of content blocks and can be set to appear only in a specific stage or only when a condition is met.
- This prevents important information from getting buried at the bottom of the form, unseen.
| Form | Typical content |
|---|---|
| General form | The record's main information |
| Approval form | Only that stage's action buttons |
To split a card into multiple forms:
- In the super form editor, use the superform option in the toolbar.
- Add a new form.
- Choose a color to tell it apart.
- Define that specific form's fields and conditionals.
Why choose Jestor to organize a card by context?
Splitting the card into independent forms gives you more control over what each person sees at each stage, without giving up the conditional rules that already exist in the rest of the platform.
