Hiding sheets/sections of a document when sending

If you upload an Excel or Word file via the Form Builder Microsoft Office add-in, you can choose to hide sections or sheets in the document in the participant step of the workflow. By using the Hide sheets or sections option which is displayed on the right of the participant step, you can choose which sheets/section will be hidden from the participant.

Creating multiple sheets/sections in a document

To hide a sheet/section of a document, the template must consist of multiple sheets/sections first.

  • Excel: Must consist of two or more sheets.
  • Word: Must consist of two or more sections. Note that you must set “Breaks” to “Next Page” when creating sections.

[Tip] Creating sections in Word

1. Place the mouse cursor on the part of the page you want to create sections.
2. Go to the PAGE LAYOUT menu.
3. Select “Next Page” under “Breaks”.
4. Check that sections have been created.
