Hiding or Showing a field on a form requires setup and planning to do correctly.

This article will provide an example of the conditional logic available in Prestartr.

Setting up Show and Hide Rules

💻

Before setting up Show/Hide Rules

The following fields are eligible for setting up Show/Hide Rules:

  • All Question Fields
  • Combo Box Field
  • Multiselect Combo Box Field 
 

Adding a new Rule

While editing a field on a Form Template - the Edit Show/Hide Rules button will be visible at the bottom of Question, Combo Box, and Multiselect Combo Box field.

Click Edit Show/Hide Rules to open the edit menu.

From the edit menu, click Add New Rule to add an empty rule.

The If value will relate to the field you are editing and display the valid options for that field.

You can chose the value to Show or Hide other fields as selected.

If this selection is supposed to create a Defect, check the box for Defect.

Click Save to confirm your rule, then click the Save icon for the form.

Finally, click Update to update the form template.

 
 

EQUALS

Using the Equals or Does Not Equal options in the Show Hide Rules provides great flexibility in how you plan the logical conditions of a form template.

This example shows the Equals logic.

The idea can be boiled down to this:
If the field equals one of the options, show or hide another field.

F1 has three options - One, Two, and Three.

  • One will show F2, and hide F3 & F4.
  • Two will show F2 & F3, hiding F4.
  • Three will show F2, F3, & F4.

F1 Equals One

F1 Equals Two

F1 Equals Three

 
 

DOES NOT EQUAL

Using the Equals or Does Not Equal options in the Show Hide Rules provides great flexibility in how you plan the logical conditions of a form template.

This is an example of Does Not Equal.

The idea can be boiled down to this:
If the field does not equal one of the options, show or hide another field.

F1 has three options - One, Two, and Three.

  • If F1 does not equal One or Two, it will show F2, F3, and F4.
  • If F1 does not equal One or Three, it will show F2 and F3, hiding F4.
  • If F1 does not equal Two or Three, it will show F2, and hide F3 and F4.
