    • Can use Personal Identifying Information
      • But if you have any issues, you can create a ticket and request CONNECT / OIT for assistance so it isn’t flagged.
      •  https://it.rutgers.edu/cloud-storage/knowledgebase/data-classification-and-storage-matrix-comparing-box-onedrive-and-google-drive/

Form - Branching Options

Branching provides the options to include complex logic to your form. Based on how the person completes the form specific sections / questions are skipped to those sections / questions. This conditional logic can be used based on a specific field value.

How to create branching:

  1. Create ALL questions first, assuming all questions are relevant to the survey / form
  2. Create various sections
  3. Branching only ‘skips’ to the NEXT Section, you cannot use it to ‘go back’
  4. Branching does not HIDE any fields, it just guides the user in completing the form

Select the field you want to use for branching, then click the 3 dots to select branching.

For each option it is possible to select what SECTION the user will be taken to.

Form section titled ‘Basic Information’ showing two address‑entry options with navigation prompts

To remove ALL branching options, on the top of the form, click the 3 dots next to branching options and select RESET, this will remove all brancing options:

Form - File Uploads

Create a new question

Select the type as: Upload File

Form builder panel showing quick‑start question types, with the Upload File option highlighted.

Once you have the field options:

  • Select number of files to upload / file limit (maybe you want them to upload multiple images)
  • To select specific file type:
    • Click on the ‘3 dots’ on bottom right for the question to see file type options
      Resume‑upload form section showing a disabled upload button, file limits, allowed file types, a required toggle, and a menu icon.

Notes about File uploads

  • File upload is only available when “Only people in my organization can respond” or “Specific people in my organization can respond” is the selected setting.
  • File upload questions are not available for personal forms when Microsoft Information Barrier is enabled. However, you can still create a file upload question by creating a group form.
  • If your SharePoint site is moved to a different domain, existing file upload questions will stop working. You’ll need to recreate these questions in the new domain to make them work again.

How to find attachments

When responders upload files for your form question, you can find those files in your OneDrive for Business folder.

  1. Sign in to OneDrive for Rutgers.
  2. Select Files, and then choose the Apps folder.
  3. Select the Microsoft Forms folder.
  4. Select the file folder matching the name of your form.
  5. Select the folder of the question that has uploaded files. You'll see the files responders have uploaded to that question.
