Interface adjusted by user input?

Need help
1

I’m new to this and excited to learn, but I need to understand if it can ultimately do what I need it to before I invest the time. Can you help?

I am trying to build a tool for work. It is essentially a web form that must adjust what it asks depending on what is entered. Think of it as a very boring choose your own adventure book. However, some things must be indeterminate.

For example,
FORM: “How many Zones are in a project?”
USER: Enters [3]
FORM: Creates three iterations of the Zone Tree.
FORM: Presents three naming fields.
USER: Enters [Name A] [Name B] [Name C]
FORM: "How many Articles Types are in Zone Name A?
USER: [2]
FORM: Creates 2 iterations of the Articles Types tree
FORM: “How Many *Articles are in Type 1?”
USER: [14]
etc. etc. etc. There are six or seven layers until everything in the project is defined.

All of the information entered by the user needs to feed a spreadsheet that generates things like project quotes, inventory queries, and ordering lists.

It seems to me that this should be possible with what is here. Yes?

Thank you! That is cool.
As I’m very new to this scene, are there better and worse ways to go looking for help? Like, are you a user or are you with the company?
Are you aware of any examples of what I’m proposing, or applicable templates?

Thanks again.

Go do the Bubble lessons and watch (and ideally follow along with) the Getting Started videos (which are awesome).

The best way to learn is to start to build something. Watch youtube videos. Post your doubts here in the forum… it is a journey.

99% of forum members, the ones who will help you, are users :sweat_smile:.

I made a VERY simple example. So you can look to the setup and start learn by yourself.

Take a look here.

Wow! Thank you. I will check these out now.

Hmmm… I clicked on your first link and the system said it should have a “made with Bubble” logo and kicked me off, I guess because I’m on the free plan.

And I can’t read the second link either. Is there anything you can do to make it free version friendly? Thanks, I really appreciate that you’ve gone to the trouble and would hate to miss out on it.

This is strange… both links are open for everyone…
I tried to open them in incognito mode and it works…
Can you try in different browsers? Or in incognito?

BINGO!

Incognito mode worked. This is perfect. I’ll spend some time looking at this and other tutorials. before asking more questions. Except this one: In your app, would it be possible for me to input “John” for User 1, and the for the app to say to me “How many kids does John have?”

The key part being that it has used my input to label its own prompt.

ah… I just tried the back-end link incognito and Bubble told me I need admin status.

Yes, sure! Take another look :wink:

You can look everything to know how it was made, but you can’t make any changes in the app. But you were able to access and see my editor, right?
