In this lesson, you will learn to choose to show/hide or enable/disable specific sections or fields of a smartFORM depending on how it is being completed.
Where to Start
Create a smartFORM as you normally would in your system (or you can choose to edit an existing smartFORM). Dependencies can be added to any section. Once the form is completed follow the steps below.
1. Click the 3 dot button > Edit Dependency.
The section/field the dependency is being created for will rely upon an identified field. Choose the field that the section/field is dependent upon.
1. Click the drop down menu.
2. Select the section that includes the field the dependent section will rely on.
3. Choose the field.
4. Use the second drop down to choose the dependent section OR field.
5. Complete the dependency statement.
Use When and If statements to show, hide, enable, or disable particular sections.
- Show - the dependent section/field will only display and print on the form when the identified field/factor is selected/completed
- Hide - the dependent section/field will be hidden and will not print on the form when the identified field/factor is selected/completed
- Enable - the dependent section/field will be greyed out on the form (so it is still visible on the form) and will only become actionable on the form when the identified field/factor is selected/completed (all enabled fields will still print on the form)
- Disable - the dependent section/field will be displayed on the form and will only become disabled (greyed out and not actionable) on the form when the identified field/factor is selected/completed (all disabled fields will still print on the form)
- Select a dependency statement to edit that dependency.
- Use the trashcan to delete that dependency.
