For me I'd have the following:

You can have a summary view. The department title is in its own text box. However each department questions is in its own section. Therefore you can have a rule on each section to hide or show an answer depending on the answer selected on the original screen.

On the original screen you could have a drop down box, with yes/no display values, yet the actual values are 0 and 1. I find this makes subsequent rules easier to write.

Hi! I am a beginner InfoPath user and I am stuck. I have a survey form that lists periodicals for several departments. Some departments can have over 20 periodicals listed. What I've tried to do was create a Summary View to display only those periodicals selected, preferably under their Department. I initially created a checkbox control for each periodical and copied the survey to the Summary View and tried to create a formatting rule to "Hide this control" if it is equal to FALSE. However, that feature was disabled when I tried to check it. I then tried to set up each department as a section and created the same formatting rule. My result was that it hid the entire section, even when I added the rule to each control. I fiddled around with other scenarios, but to no avail. My last attempt came close to what I'm looking for (at least I think). I used the Multi-Selection Listbox for each department and copied it to my Summary View. However, when I click just one checkbox in the listbox, all of the boxes are checked. What did I do or did not do? Any guidance you can give would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

DEPT 1

[ ] Periodical 1

[ ] Periodical 2

DEPT 2
