If you want to show or hide questions depending on the answers of other questions, use the show fields area when editing a question.

The precedence of boolean operators applies, meaning that AND has precedence over OR.
The plugin can provide its own design for helpdesk.
To enable it, edit an entity, open the Forms tab and set the field Helpdesk mode to Service catalog simplified or Service catalog extended. This setting handles inheritance from parent entity to children entities.
Users using the simplified interface will benefit a new interface allowing them to:
- browse forms and FAQ with the unified interface
- follow the process of their requests
- book assets
- view their feeds
Users using the extended interface have a more complete view on their requests.
Forms with Direct access on homepage enabled and FAQ items in the Knowledge base will will appear in the interface. Users may search by browsing the categories on the left of the screen, and may also search for forms or FAQ with a natural language search engine.
FAQ items needs to be associated to knowledge base categories. The knowledge base categories must be associated to form categories (available in Setup > Dropdowns : Forms > Form categories) to show their content.
