        Article summary

        In this article you will find actions that you can use to create fields on the result page. After configuration, the fields contain numerical values, calculation results and/or texts.

        These are listed in the user interface of the rules under Select an action > Result field action.

        Create text: Set a result field to a text

        1) Simple text

        Action: Create a field with a fixed text for the result page.

        1. Click on Select an action > Set a result field to a text.

        2. Enter the name of the field under add global field.

        ⚠️When entering a name into  add global field, avoid spaces and special characters. Underscores and hyphens are allowed.

        1. Enter the desired text under Type in your text.

        2) Text field with dynamic number or text input

        Action: Create a field for the result page with a text that contains the individual user input from a number or text input field.

        1. Click on Select an action > Set a result field to a text.

        2. Enter the name of the field under add global field.

        ⚠️When entering a name into  add global field, avoid spaces and special characters. Underscores and hyphens are allowed.

        1. Enter the desired text under Type in your text.

        2. Select the desired number or text input field from your questionnaire under Other values > Answer value.

        After you have added the field to the result page (see related article), your text appears on the result page with the input from the questionnaire, which changes dynamically depending on the input of the selector users.

        3) Text field with calculation result

        Action: Create a field for the result page with a combination of text and the result of a calculation.

        1. Click on Select an action > Set a result field to a text.

        2. Enter the name of the field under add global field.

        ⚠️Vermeide when entering under add global field spaces and special characters. Underscores and hyphens are allowed.

        1. Enter the desired text under Type in your text.

        2. Start the calculation by entering the function math().

        3. Enter the desired calculation in the brackets. See the list of mathematical operators in this article.

        ⚠️ Note: Configuration of comma values

        Use a point for comma values, e.g. 0.2 and not 0,2.

        After you have added the field to the result page (see related article), your text appears on the result page with the input from the questionnaire, which changes depending on the input of the selector users.

        Perform calculation: Set a result field to a calculated number / value

        Action: Create a field with a number or the result of a calculation.

        1. Click on Select an action > Set a result field to a calculated number / value.

        1. Enter the name of the field under add global field. (Avoid spaces and special characters. Underscores and hyphens are allowed).

        2. Enter the desired number or calculation in the gray field on the right (note the list of mathematical operators in this article).

        ⚠️ Note: Configuration of comma values

        Use a point for comma values, e.g. 0.2 and not 0,2.

        Use number input from questionnaire in calculation

        In order to use a numerical value added by the selector user in the questionnaire in a calculation, you must integrate the corresponding Number Input Field into the calculation. Click on Answer value under Other numeric values and select the desired answer from the dropdown.

        ⚠️ Note: Only select responses with Number Input Fields

        For calculations, you can only select the input from number fields (response type: Number Input Fields). All other question types are not supported in mathematical formulas.

        Example: Calculation with Number Input Field

        In the following example, the amount of wall paint required is calculated as a function of the wall area.

        1. Click on Select an action > Set a result field to a calculated number / value.

        2. Enter the field name color-amount under add global field.

        3. Start the calculation with an open bracket.

        4. Under Answer value, select the answer Enter wall size in square meters.

        5. Complete the remaining calculation: *0.2)/15 (0.2 stands for the amount of paint required in liters per square meter and 15 for the size of the paint bucket in liters).
