Help with required questions

[Site admin (Peter MacIsaac)]

Boston College has a study with several very long forms  (created this way as their user researchers are community volunteers, and firstly this is the way they designed it, and secondly in the design we initially tried to avoid the research assistants needing to engage with the dashboards (however with training it seems they are becoming more comfortable with them)

Almost all questions are required answers and what is happening is that when they get to the bottom of the long from there may be a big list  or a few of unanswered questions somewhere up the form, and finding the missing data to complete is cumbersome.  Is there a way of prompting for missing data as you go?

Hello Peter,

 

I usually recommend this kind of pattern. It's most commonly done with section-per-page surveys where you can't make fields mandatory (Ethics), but it would work in your opposite case too.
