Customizing coverage options by state
SALT can vary which coverage options appear based on the state the consumer selects. Use the State Filter step to capture the state early in the flow, then configure per-state option visibility on the questions that need it. Consumers from non-configured states fall through to defaults.
In short: Add a State Filter step early in your Form, then configure per-state option visibility on the coverage questions that vary by state. Consumers see only the options applicable to their state.
Why state-based options exist
Insurance products vary by state — coverage minimums, available endorsements, optional riders, even which carriers will write the business. Showing every option to every consumer leads to confusion and bad data. State-based options keep the Form clean by hiding what doesn’t apply to the consumer’s state.
How it works
Two pieces work together:
- A State Filter step captures the consumer’s state early in the flow. This makes the answer available for downstream visibility logic.
- Per-state options on individual questions — for any question that varies by state, you configure which options appear for which states.
If the consumer’s state isn’t explicitly configured for a question, that question falls through to its default options.
Add a State Filter step
-
1
Open your Form’s editor.
-
2
Add a new step early in the flow (typically right after capturing the prospect’s basic info).
-
3
Choose the State Filter step type. Save.
Place the State Filter step before any question whose options should vary by state. Otherwise, the per-state visibility logic has nothing to reference.
Configure per-state options on a question
After the State Filter step is in place, open a question whose options should vary. The question’s options panel will show a per-state configuration:
- For each state, you can override which options appear (or hide options entirely).
- Default options apply to any state you don’t explicitly configure.
Save your changes. New consumer visits to the Form’s Link immediately see the state-aware behavior.
Restricting a Form to specific states
You can also use the State Filter to gate the Form entirely — consumers from non-supported states see a “this isn’t available in your state” message instead of the rest of the questions. The exact configuration is on the State Filter step itself.
This is useful for:
- Carriers or appetites that only write in certain states
- Products that aren’t licensed in some jurisdictions
- Pilots or limited-state rollouts
Common questions
My consumer is in the right state but isn’t seeing the options I configured. Check the order of the State Filter step. If it appears after the question whose options vary, the visibility logic can’t fire — the answer hasn’t been captured yet. Move the State Filter earlier.
Can the same Form serve multiple states with different question sequences? Yes — beyond per-question option overrides, you can use conditional step visibility (where supported) to show or hide whole steps based on state.
What if a consumer changes their state mid-flow? The visibility recalculates. Options not applicable to the new state are hidden; previously hidden options that now apply may appear. Existing answers to other questions are preserved.
Can a Link restrict access by state instead of (or in addition to) the Form? Per-Link state restriction isn’t a separate feature today — state filtering is configured at the Form level via the State Filter step. All Links to the same Form share the same state behavior.
