Action: Show and Hide

With a show and hide rule, you use one or more conditions to determine whether to show or hide a field if the condition evaluates to true.

To set this example up, add these fields to a form:

• I am 18 Years Old or Older, a required single selection field with two options: Yes and No.

• Legal Guardian Email Address, a text field that accepts valid email addresses (use text field validation to dictate input type).

Example: If you’re under 18 years old, you need the approval of a legal guardian to drive a sled in a sled dog race (even if you’re racing chickens, not dogs). The form for registering your chicken team asks you the age of the driver. If you enter a number less than 18, the Legal Guardian Email Address field appears.

To configure a Show/Hide rule,

1. Open the Rules tab of the Edit Form page and click the Add () button.

2. Define the rule:

   • If the I am 18 years old or older field is equal to No, show the Legal Guardian Email Address field.

   

   Figure 1: Build form rules quickly by defining your conditions and actions.

   • Save the rule.

   

   Figure 2: Once a rule is saved, it is displayed so that you can easily understand what it does.

Now the Legal Guardian Email Address field is only displayed in the form if the user selects No in the I am 18 years old or older field.

Show rules let you keep a field hidden until some condition is met.
