Step 5: Test the flow

Select Preview form at the top of the Intake Form builder. The form will now guide the user to first select whether they are an individual or a company, and then present the relevant fields.

This ensures that the correct mapped fields are populated and that the matter will include either a Person contact or a Company contact accordingly.
