This feature enables buyers to create conditional content in guided sourcing events. Support for conditional content enables you to display or hide questions, requirements, sections, and attachments based on the participants' answers to specific questions. You can define the conditions at the event level or at the template level. The conditions applied from the template can be edited or deleted at the event level.
When creating a guided sourcing event, a buyer cannot not condition the applicability of certain questions, or sections, subject to the answer to a former question. Thus, asking detailed and granular information from the relevant participants becomes more difficult.
Now, with the support for conditional content in guided sourcing, providing parity to classic sourcing, buyers can define content that will display to some suppliers and not others based upon answers to previous questions.

Conditional content is not supported for large-capacity events.
If scoring is enabled, un-answered questions are not counted towards the overall weight for the participant's score and you will not be able to distinguish if a question has not been answered because of a visibility condition, or because the participant did not answer it.
Visibility conditions cannot be applied to line items, lots, or sections that contain line items or lots.
If you import event content by using Excel files, such as simplified Excel or unstructured Excel, all the content conditions in the event are deleted.
It is not possible to select currencies for conditions matched to Money type fields.
Conditions are defined based on questions within the same event. It is not possible to define conditions in an event based on responses to a previous event in the case of multi-round events.
