Can a yes/no question present answers in two columns?

Greetings Team.

 

I am envisioning a travel question set. We have all the components of a regular request just below, and I'm thinking about architecture, coupled with best practices. Let's consider an AD domain as the system of record for users, and let's assume that the managers are configured correctly there.

Travel Trip Identification:

  • Trip Title *
  • Reason For Travel
  • Requestor

 

Travel Dates (2-col presentation)

  • Travel Departure*
  • Travel Destination *
  • Travel Start Date *
  • Travel End Date *

Hotel Information

  • Hotel Required? *
  • Hotel Location:
  • Estimated Hotel cost:

 

Local Transportation Information

  • Local Transportation Required? *
  • Transportation Type:
  • Estimated Transportation cost:


Can i do a two-column presentation of the types and cost after they choose yes?

 

Should we have to break up the variable sets in groups, or can there be one variable set that responds to the dynamic selection yes/no where the presentation is not a single column

yes

location text field

cost text field

 

Instead of:

 

yes

location text field               cost text field

 

Furthermore, the way that I have it arranged now is that each set of questions is their own variable set, but it feels like this should be able to be one question set, and a conditional presentation of the two-col nature.

 

I have two questions:

Can the condition of answering yes present two columns below it?

 

and

 

Architecturally does it make more sense to have a single variable set instead of 4 variable sets?

 

Thank you for your assistance in understanding best practices in my scenario.

Yes, you can go with four variables sets each of their own purpose and their is no harm in it, so yes and put the fields in side by side so it will be more clear from user interface perspective.

 

Thanks,

I think what I'm looking for is something akin to "how do I leverage formatters" or "can Catalog items built in the catalog builder behave in the prescribed way?"
