Web Forms: jump quickly to specific questions or form end

The previous version (Enketo) had the functionality (similar to collect) to navigate to a specific question quickly. This is useful for editing in case a specific error has been identified.

There was also the possibility to "go to end" and submit quickly.

Is it possible/planned in web-forms?

Thanks for raising this, @alfonso! As of the Web Forms 1.1.0 (Central v2026.3), attempting to submit or navigating to the next page when using pages mode will result in a banner with the number of errors detected and a "View" link to bring focus to the first one:

We also do intend to add a table of contents view like Collect eventually but don't have this scheduled yet.

I'd love to get more info from you and others with this need:

  • Is your need mostly about correcting errors or are there other cases in which users need to jump around the form?
  • Do you need this just with pages or would you see value in quick navigation across questions or maybe just to start/end even when all questions are on the same screen?
  • Do your users mainly use desktop or mobile?

Thanks @LN !

Concerning your questions:

For data collected with ODK Collect, we use this function to revise some forms and sometimes to correct specific entries "on request". Also the option "Go to End" is particularly useful.

Related to this, also the "print" option was very useful, is it planned to include it in the webforms as well? Or is there an option to get the answers from the browser?

Also in the development phase, it is useful (discussing with team) to jump between questions in webforms instead of going one by one.

In other cases we use directly webforms in the browser, in this case, sometimes it is practical to be able to navigate.

The "pages" option is useful, when the forms are a bit long (and do not look good on a single screen).

Thanks as always and congratulation for your the great work
