Robin, Thanks for the reply.
I am using xmlui. And in particular branching based specifically on type is what I am looking for (although a general branching would be nice). I'd like a different form to appear depending on the type of document being submitted (say book vs thesis). Right now I have it rigged by setting a separate form for each collection. And each collection is one specific document type. But I'd like to intermix document types in a single collection thus letting me use the DSpace collection concept to....ummmmm..... separate different collections :) I'm still a noob with DSpace. Would looking more into the initial questions be a fruitful path for me? - Damian ________________________________________ From: Robin Taylor [[email protected]] Sent: Tuesday, December 15, 2009 9:56 AM To: Sobieralski, Damian Michael; [email protected] Subject: RE: [Dspace-tech] Conditional submission form rendering based on answers from a previous page Hi Damian, The Initial Questions screen was a basic attempt to do that in that the metadata collected was in some ways dependant on the answers to the initial questions. To my mind is was a first step towards a true type based submission. There was a Google Summer Of Code project this year to develop an Item Type based submission. We are currently implementing it but it may be more heavyweight than you require. Are you using the XMLUI or the JSPUI ?
