Subsection

Subsections sit below the Section level of a form definition.

An example subsection might look something like this:

"property_information": {
  "label": "Property information",
  "depends_on": [
    {
      "setup": "completed"
    }
  ],
  "pages": {
    "property_postcode": {
      ...
    },
    "property_local_authority": {
      ...
    }
  }
}

In the above example the the subsection has the id property_information. The depends_on contains the set of conditions that must be met for the section to be accessible to a data provider, in this example subsection depends on the completion of the setup section/subsection (note that this is a common condition as the answers provided to questions in the setup subsection often have an impact on what questions are asked of the data provider in later subsections of the form).

The label contains the text that users will see for that subsection in the task list page of a lettings log.

The pages of the subsection in the example would be property_postcode and property_local_authority.

Subsections can contain one or more pages.
