What Are Super Forms and How Do They Work?

Super Forms are forms that do more than collect fields. They display connected records, apply conditional logic, embed content, and let a single submission create a parent record and its children at the same time.

Why a standard form runs out of room

Most real processes are not flat. A purchase request has items; an employee has documents; an opportunity has services attached.

Related records created separately, after the main form
Users navigating between screens to complete one task
No way to show reference information alongside the questions
Conditional logic missing, so everyone answers everything

What a Super Form can contain

Connected tables, shown as a list or as a nested form
Conditional rules, hiding or showing fields based on other answers
Read-only sections, for information that should be visible but not editable
Embedded content — a PDF, a video, a map, a scheduling link, a live figure
Blocks and layout controls, including fields placed side by side

How to configure it in Jestor

Open a form in Jestor and choose to edit the Super Form.
Add the blocks you need from the form toolbar.
Add a connected table block and pick which of its fields appear.
Choose whether users may add records to that connected table, or only read it.
Set conditional rules that control when each block or field is shown.

Why choose Jestor for complex forms?

Jestor applies the same Super Form engine inside open cards, not just on public forms — so the way a record is reviewed internally can be as structured as the way it was captured.

Because forms sit on relational tables, a connected record created inside a form is linked automatically. Nothing has to be matched up afterwards.
