# Approving a Form Entry with Multiple Contacts

### Approving Forms with Multiple Contacts

If your form uses one or more **Repeating People Block** sections, then the the *Primary Form* and each *Repeating Block* section can each be processed as a separate infoodle contac so long as it contains a **Persons Name** field and/or and **Organisation/Household Name** Field.

For Multi-Contact forms, the **Approve this form** section will show one Tab for the Primary Form, as well as a Tab for each added Repeating Block. ![image.png](https://cdn.document360.io/d198920d-a212-4177-85f9-e1abc92e7ab3/Images/Documentation/image-CZ5G789K.png)

Repeating blocks are labeled **Repeat (Block No. - Index No.)** For example, **Repeat 2-3** is from Repeating Block 2, and is the 3rd repeat of that block.

**For Each Repeating Tab:**

1. Select how to process this contact ![image.png](https://cdn.document360.io/d198920d-a212-4177-85f9-e1abc92e7ab3/Images/Documentation/image-RB7BGAQ8.png)
2. Choose to create a contact, or assign to an existing record ![image.png](https://cdn.document360.io/d198920d-a212-4177-85f9-e1abc92e7ab3/Images/Documentation/image-8VJGDS72.png)
3. Once all repeating tabs are assigned, click **Approve this form** ![image.png](https://cdn.document360.io/d198920d-a212-4177-85f9-e1abc92e7ab3/Images/Documentation/image-UVE9NC5M.png)

**Unassigned Repeating Tabs** - If there are still Repeating Tabs not yet processed on this form, you will see the below error message, and will need to select an action for any unassigned tabs in order to proceed. ![image.png](https://cdn.document360.io/d198920d-a212-4177-85f9-e1abc92e7ab3/Images/Documentation/image-O1KECBOR.png)

**Inactive Repeating Tabs** - If there is a Repeating Tab that has no Person or Organisation/Household Name data, then this will show with a Strikethrough, as shown for the **Primary** Tab below. ![image.png](https://cdn.document360.io/d198920d-a212-4177-85f9-e1abc92e7ab3/Images/Documentation/image-NS6MWJ07.png)

This will also be what is displayed if you use the **This Repeat is not Required** option for any repeating section, as has been done for **Repeat 2-1** and **Repeat 2-2** tabs in the above example.

In either the **No Data** or **Not Required** scenarios, you will be able to ignore these inactive Repeating tabs, and will be able to approve the form once the active repeating tabs have been processed.

**Please Note**

If you do not have at least one Repeating tab that is configured to Create/update a contact record, then you will not be able to Approve that form Entry.
