Enable Repeatable Sections in the Template Builder

This allows you to create sections that respondents can repeat — e.g. letting someone upload multiple files, add multiple team members, or submit more than one entry within a single section.

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.
