Conditional formating

T

Terry Barenberg

I would like to create an online form that includes a number of check-boxes
(e.g., Office 1, Office 2, Office 3) that when checked, a separate table for
each appears. In other words, if I wanted Offices 1 and 3 to review a
document and provide comments, I would select their check-boxes. After
selecting each, a table specific to each appears with information fields
pre-built for each to complete.

Hi,

Take the four sections and enter the text or comments you want show in
sections, (i.e,
In first section enter text you want show when you select the first check box
and so on.. ).
and then set the conditional formatting on every section(Hide/show) based on
their respective check box

For example: when you select the first check box then need to show only first
section.

Hey Terry,
This is pretty easy just need to think backwards to the way you normally
would.

1: Add your checkbox controls to your form (for now I'm going to refer to
these as the "Office1" "Office2" and "Office3" )
2: Add a new optional section to the form and call it "Office1optSection"
3: Open the properties for the optional section and tick the "Include this
section in the form by default" radio button
4: Click on the display tab and open the conditional formatting dialog
5: Add a new rule that hides the optional section when the "Office1" field
is set to false

repeat steps 2-5 for the next 2 sections

once your sections have been created you can put your table control inside
the section.

Hope this helps, if you need more details let me know

Cheers,
Ben
