Show Form Step
Show a specific subform (step) in a multi-tab project — e.g. move from quote to contact to thank-you.
In the builder: select a widget → On Click or On Change → Add action → Show form step
Behavior
When the action runs, Calcopolis hides the current subform and displays the selected step.
- Runs in the browser.
- Only one subform is visible at a time.
- The project must contain multiple subform tabs — add tabs with the + on the form tab bar.
- After switching, formulas are recalculated for the visible step.
Setup fields
Open the action settings (gear icon next to Show form step):
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| Form | Pick the subform step to display (e.g. Contact Us, Thank You). |
Action name
Internal label in the builder action list. Use distinct names when the same widget runs multiple actions.
FAQ
How do I build a three-step wizard?
- Add subform tabs: Get a Quote → Contact Us → Thank You (rename tabs on the canvas).
- On the last button of step 1, add Show form step → select Contact Us.
- On Submit in step 2, chain Save Lead (optional) then Show form step → Thank You.

Why does nothing switch?
| Symptom | Check |
|---|---|
| Same form stays visible | Confirm Form points to the correct subform name |
| Blank canvas | Target subform must contain widgets — empty tabs show nothing |
| Wrong step order | Tab order follows the tab bar left-to-right; names are for your reference only |
Show Form Step vs Switch View Mode?
Show form step swaps entire subform tabs (wizard pages). Switch View Mode shows or hides widgets within the same tab. Use steps for linear flows; use View Modes for Basic/Advanced sections on one page.
