Using forms to show certain info

Hi, I’m new to webflow, but use Elementor, Ceros, actionscript in the past and HTML5 from time to time.

I’ve been tasked with building a web tool that can show a specification based on a series of selections. Can anyone tell me if this is possible in webflow?

So you might have a series of selections (bold is selected):
Options = A/ B/ C
A = 1 / 2 / 3
2 = E / R / T / Y
Y = Show Specification Y

Thanks!!

Yes, it’s possible to create a tool like this in Webflow! While Webflow doesn’t natively support complex logic like you might find in a coding environment, you can achieve this functionality with a combination of Webflow’s interactions and custom JavaScript.

Hey Stephen, you’d need to be clearer on your exact goals.
However the easiest way is probably;

  • Setup the CMS to store your specifications, whatever they are.
  • Setup your filterable options for each as separate fields
  • Use Finsweet CMS Filter to setup your filtering and show the matching specification.

Thankyou and sorry for not explaining in more detail.

I am looking to build a specification guide. So I will have about 50+ specifications. The user will navigate a 3d environment and then select a specific area which will then present them with about 3 levels of options(2-5 options in each level), each level tailoring what is shown in the next level. Until at last, based on there selection they are shown a specification for their needs.

Thanks for you suggestions so far.

I can’t visualize that from text, but broadly your description sounds like a filtering system that should arrive at a single item, with all of the filtering pieces configured in the CMS.

Study up on Finsweet CMS Filter, learning how to set it up and manipulate it from custom code will likely become useful here, no matter what UX you create.
