I am creating a project that I want 2 separate guis for.  One formatted for smartphones and one formatted for pc/tablet with embedded elements..

I have experimented with putting everything in one form with questions names differently (i,e sp_name fo smartphone name and pc_name for computer name.
Then I use @calctext on a 3rd hidden form to capture whichever one is chosen so there is a master data set using the same variable names.  This way I can capture data from both guis into the same variable for reporting.

It would be simpler if I could build an entire set (i.e. sp questions) on one form so if the user chose the smartphone option it woild open the sp form.

I hae tried piping the first question on the sp form to the first choice on the "chooser" form but didnt work.

So my question is:  Is it even possible to open an entire form based on a multiple choice answer?

Any feedback appreciated.

Thank you.

Hi Ray

Form Display Logic is exactly about that. Except if you have a somehow old version of REDCap, you will find it in the table header of the Online Designer. 

Please tell if this doesn't fix your issue.
