The hidden question

The hidden question

How do I activate the hidden question ?

On your platform, you have the option to hide any type of question in your forms. This option is used when the administrator or program manager does not want the question to appear in the candidate area, but wants to answer it themselves later by editing the submission.

Info
Please refer to the following articles:
  1. The different types of questions in a form
  2. Forms
  3. Display conditions
  4. Edit a deposit

To activate this option, please follow these steps :
  1. In your form, on the right side of your screen, you will see the different types of questions.



  1. Drag the icon for the desired question type (in our example, a “short text” question) and drop it into the reserved space.



  1. You will get this result, where you will need to name the question. In our example, we named it “Avis”



  1. Activate the hidden option by clicking on the “Mask” button.



  1. Once the question is hidden, it will not be displayed in preview mode.



Alert
Enabling the “Make mandatory” option on a hidden question has no effect, as the question is not visible to the candidate.

Notes
Hiding a question can be useful in certain internal use cases.
For example, it allows you to leave a comment directly on the form without the candidate seeing it, and then reuse this hidden field in an email, inserting it as a tag.
