Form Rules

Apply form logic through form rules

You can create form rules and recommendations to apply form logic without writing JavaScript code. Form rules provide a simple interface to implement commonly used rules. By combining conditions and actions, you can do the following with form rules:

• Set field value based on a formula, a value from another field, and a constant value.

• Clear field values.

• Make the field required.

• Show or hide fields.

• Enable or disable fields.

• Validate data and show error messages.

• Change field instructions.
