Repeating Sections & Tables

Zentake’s Table Question Type and Repeating Block Question Type help healthcare organizations collect structured, repeatable data in a clean, HIPAA-compliant way. These question types are ideal for medical intake forms, assessments, and internal documentation where flexibility and data consistency matter.

This guide explains what each question type does, when to use it, and how to choose the right one.

Repeating Sections

Repeating sections are groups of fields that may need to be duplicated. You only set up the fields once, and all your patient's will see is one section—until they click “Add Item”. Collect as much or as little data as your customers can give, without making them scroll forever just to hit “Submit”.

Table Fields

table fields also allow you to collect repeating data—however, table fields keep all your data organized in a concise grid format with columns and rows. In each column, you can create a summary that performs various functions, such as counting the number of items or summing up currency and number data in each row. Plus, repeating sections can instantly be converted to a table field at anytime.
