Section Duplication: Repeatable Sections for Photos, Inspections, and More

📄 Section Duplication: Repeatable Form Sections for Photos, Inspections, and More
 

Ontraccr’s Section Duplication feature allows users to create repeating blocks of questions within a form. This is ideal for capturing multiple items like photos, observations, inspections, or issue reports—without needing to predict how many entries someone might need.

🔁 What is Section Duplication?

When duplication is enabled for a section:

• The form filler sees a “Duplicate Section” button
• Clicking it copies the entire section, including all fields
• They can add as many duplicates as needed

🛠 How to Enable Section Duplication

1. Go to Step 2: Fields
2. Click the gear icon ⚙️ next to the section name
3. Check the box: Enable Section Duplication
4. Save your changes

You’ll see a visual indicator confirming that duplication is enabled for that section.

📥 What Happens on the Form?

When filling out the form:

• A “Duplicate Section” icon appears at the bottom of that section
• Clicking it adds a copy of the section and its fields right below
• The user can then repeat the process as many times as needed

📌 Limitations to Be Aware Of

✅ Use internal fields like "Label this photo" or "Inspection Area" to differentiate duplicates.

💡 Tips for Designing Duplicate Sections
