Infopath Controls

[smitha]

Hi,

I'm new to Infopath and have created a form with multiple views which have
different forms. I would like to set different controls (fields) manadatory
in different views, which would mean that a user could select a view, fill
out form in that view and submit it, however it would mean that some
mandatory controls in different views are blank - however these are not
relevant to the particular form the user is filling out in the view they have
chosen.

So I guess what I'm asking is: can you have mandatory controls which are
left blank in views not required by a user and if so, how do you set that
validation? I've tried a variety of rules, data validation and conditional
formatting, but can't seem to figure it out.

Many thanks,

A.

Hi,

If you want to show the “Name†field required and this field will be
displayed in the view1 and only “User1†can able to see this view.
Add following Data validation in the Name field properties.
“Name†is blank and “User1†is equal to “trueâ€

You need to add this data validation to all required fields. In this case
that field will be required only when we have permissions to see that view.
