Section Node

Creates a visual section header in TellUs that groups multiple input nodes under a common title.
This helps organize long or complex TellUs forms into clear, logical parts — improving readability and user flow.

info

Sections are only visible in TellUs (step-by-step forms). The WebChat interface does not display sections.

Use Case​

Use this node to structure TellUs flows by grouping related questions together, such as:

  • Grouping insurance claim details like "Accident Information" and "Driver Details".
  • Organizing multi-step forms such as "Personal Information", "Coverage Options", and "Payment Details".
  • Creating a better overview for users filling in long insurance or customer forms.

When not to use:
If you’re designing a WebChat experience, since WebChat does not support section headers.

UI Examples​

Behavior​

  • Blocking: No — the node itself does not stop flow progression; it serves as a grouping element.
  • Requires user input: No.
  • If no input is provided: Not applicable — SectionNode doesn’t collect input.
  • Outputs variables: No direct outputs; it affects layout and grouping only.
  • Validations enforced: None — SectionNode is purely structural.

Input Properties​

PropertyDescription
continueButtonText

Defines the label text for the continue button shown at the end of the section. This is useful if you want to give users a clear action cue before moving to the next section.

  • Default Values:
      • En:Continue
      • No:Fortsett
      • Fi:Jatka
      • Se:Fortsätt
      • Dk:Fortsæt
hideNavigation

Determines whether the default TellUs navigation (e.g., continue/back buttons) is hidden for this section. Can be used to create non-interruptive visual groupings without user navigation.

  • Default Values:
      • En:false
isDeadEnd

If set to true, the flow will stop after this section. This is typically used when the section is intended as the final step or informational endpoint.

  • Default Values:
      • En:false
defaultValidationMessage

The default error message shown when the input is invalid or missing. This is used if no custom validation message is provided.

  • Default Values:
      • En:Please type in value
      • No:Skriv noe
      • Dk:Indtast værdi
      • Fi:Kirjoita kenttään
      • Se:Ange värde
sectionId

Groups this node visually under a specific section in TellUs. When multiple nodes share the same sectionId, they are displayed together under a shared header.

defaultValue

The initial value that is prefilled into the input field when the node is rendered. Useful for suggesting defaults or pre-populating known data.

isRequired

Determines whether the user must provide a value before continuing. If set to true, the form will not proceed without input.

  • Default Values:
      • En:true
  • Allowed Values:
      • true
      • false
isRequiredValidationMessage

The error message shown when a required field is left empty. This overrides the default validation message when isRequired is true.

  • Default Values:
      • En:Value is required
      • No:Verdi er påkrevd
