REQUIRED: Reach out to your Customer Experience Lead to take advantage of this feature.
We have found that there are instances where not every Field or Attribute is necessarily required to appear within a Template at all times. In some cases, a single Template can be used for several different purposes and thus contains Fields that are not always necessary for the Item’s completion. Conditional Fields ensure that when working with your Items, you are only seeing the necessary information for that specific workflow.
You now have the ability to configure Fields and Attributes to be hidden from a Template unless a specific “condition” or, in this case, an Attribute value is selected. Using Conditional Fields, you can tie the visibility of additional Fields and/or Attributes on your Templates to the selection of a specific Attribute value.
EXAMPLE: In this example, the Strategic Initiative Attribute is our Conditional Field. By selecting the Safety value, it will meet the “condition” for an additional field.

Once Safety has been selected, a new Safety KPI Type Attribute will be added to the Template.

Another way to use Conditional Fields would be to have certain values cause additional Attribute values to automatically populate with the specified values. You can even choose whether or not to have the values be locked to prevent any editing after the criteria is met.
For this example, we have configured it to where:
- If you select both:
- Safety value for the Strategic Initiative Attribute
-
- High value for the Priority Attribute
- High value for the Priority Attribute
- Then it will cause:
- Category Attribute to appear and automatically populate with the Healthcare value.
PRO TIP: The Category Attribute can still be edited, if necessary.

- If you select both:
- Community value for the Strategic Initiative Attribute
- High value for the Priority Attribute
- Then it will cause:
- Category Attribute to appear and automatically populate with the Communication value.
NOTE: The Category Attribute is locked and can no longer be edited.

CAUTION: When updating a Controlling Attribute (which affects Conditional Fields) a notice will appear that says “Changes you make to this attribute may affect other fields.” Depending on the action, you may or may not lose data from the Conditional Fields.
