Intake questions: what to ask when booking

Add booking questions to a service to collect job details and photos, and show or hide a question based on an earlier answer.

Booking Questions are plain questions and answers attached to a service - for job context, not price. They never change the total by themselves; a question that should affect price belongs in Pricing options and add-ons or in a surcharge condition instead.

Question types

TypeWhat the customer sees
Text InputA single-line text field.
Long TextA multi-line text area.
NumberA numeric field.
Dropdown Select (single choice)A dropdown of the options you list; one can be picked.
Radio Buttons (single choice)The same single-choice options shown as radio buttons instead of a dropdown.
Checkbox (multiple choice)The options you list, with more than one pickable. Leave the options empty and it falls back to a simple yes/no checkbox instead.
Photo UploadLets the customer attach images, up to a maximum count you set.

Per-question settings

  1. Open Add Question and write the Question Label the customer will see.
  2. Choose the Question Type.
  3. For Dropdown, Radio or Checkbox, add each option's text.
  4. Optional: add Placeholder Text shown inside the field.
  5. Turn on Required field if the customer must answer before booking.
  6. Save.

Questions can be reordered by dragging, duplicated, edited or deleted from the question list at any time.

Showing a question only when it applies

Each question can carry a "Show this question only if..." condition, checked against this service's other Booking Questions and its Pricing Choices (the option groups from Pricing options and add-ons). Left empty, a question is always shown. This is how, for example, a "Property Classification: Commercial" answer can reveal business-only follow-up questions while "Residential" reveals different ones - or how a "Dumpster Pad" choice can reveal a "Dumpster Count & Size" question that would be meaningless otherwise.
