# Enable Repeatable Sections in the Template Builder

### When to Use Repeatable Sections

Use a repeatable section when you want to allow respondents to submit more than one instance of the same set of fields. Common use cases include:

* Uploading multiple supporting documents
* Adding multiple project team members
* Listing several qualifications or references
* Entering data for more than one product or line item

### How to Make a Section Repeatable

1. In the Template Builder, click the **cog (settings) icon** on the section you want to make repeatable. The **Section Settings** panel will open on the left side of the screen.
2. Under the **Section name** field, check the **Repeatable** checkbox.
3. Once enabled, the following optional sub-settings become available:
   * **Default amount** — Set a pre-filled number of section instances shown to the respondent when they first open the form.
   * **Limit repeats** — Cap the maximum number of times the section can be repeated.
   * **Numbered sections** — Automatically number each repeated instance (e.g. "Document 1", "Document 2") for clarity.
4. Click **Save and Return** (top right) to save your changes.

Once the section is repeatable, an **Add another +** button will appear at the bottom of the section when respondents fill out the form, allowing them to add additional instances.

### Tips

* You can rename the section using the **Section name** field at the top of the Section Settings panel.
* Use **Limit repeats** if there is a maximum number of entries you want to accept (e.g. no more than 5 file uploads).
* Preview your form using the **Preview** button (top right) to see how the repeatable section will appear to respondents.
* Sections can be reordered, duplicated, or deleted using the icons in the section header (up arrow, copy, and bin icons).
* The "repeatable" setting can be used across a number of the templates in Tahua - Registration, Application, Milestone, Assessment, Decisions and Conditions.
* "Add another" is often used for file upload fields, as it enables Applicants to upload multiple documents if required.
