Then you can start customizing your form view as you wish.

Create conditional questions

Retable's form view helps you create conditional questions by adding conditions to your questions. So you can decide whether your other questions will be visible or not, with conditions depending on the answers to the previous questions. Thanks to conditional forms, you can show more relevant questions to people who fill out your form. All you need to do to create conditional questions is to go to your form view and click on the question you want to add a condition to. Then you can easily adjust your condition settings for the relevant question.
