Smart Form Element - Behavior

The Behavior tab allows control over the element's specific property actions.  Rules can also be applied to the element's behavior to enforce when it is editable and when it is required.

Behavior

  1. Clear related values on change – A check box that when enabled clears text of a dependent field when the value in this field has been changed.  This setting can be particularly useful when the field is used as a filter for a lookup or as a default for another field.
  2. Include in Processing Sequence – A check box that allows the element to be part of the processing sequence or not.  Although it is not disabled when the Processing or Creation Logic is chosen, this setting only applies to the Distribution Stamp Logic plug-in.  In most cases, this should not ever be modified from its original defaulted setting.  Changes to the processing sequence can result in errors during the Distribution Stamp import function.

    If an element is not wanted/or need during the import process, simply change its visibility from the Appearance Tab of that specific element.
  3. Can Edit – A check box that enables the user to edit the value in the field.
    1. Always – The element is always editable.
    2. If – The element is editable if the following condition is true.  Choose field from drop-down list. See section Explaining 'Values' for further explanation on values.
      • Display Value – Corresponds to the value displayed in the smart form field.
      • Value – Corresponds to the ID of the field chosen.
      • Value2 – Corresponds to a code from the field chosen.
      • Operator – Can be 'Equals' or 'Not Equal To'.
      • String textbox – Validate the condition with string values.  If multiple values are necessary, separate by semi-colons. (e.g. – ABC; XYZ; ABX)
  4. Required – A check box that requires a value to be input.
    1. Always - Enforce the element to always be required.
    2. If - Enforce the element to be required if the following condition is true.  Choose field from drop-down list.
      • Display Value – Corresponds to the value displayed in the smart form field.
      • Value – Corresponds to the ID of the field chosen.
      • Value2 – Corresponds to a code from the field chosen.
      • Operator – Can be 'Equals' or 'Not Equal To'.
      • String textbox – Validate the condition with string values.  If multiple values are necessary, separate by semi-colons. (e.g. – ABC; XYZ; ABX)
