How to: Show indicators based on values

JessMeats — Mon, 03 Aug 2009 14:20:00 GMT

This video is a response to a request. The request was to show how to show indicators based on values taken from SQL. In this video, I showed how to set conditional formatting to show indicators based on the value in a field. In this example, the value was entered manually, but exactly the same process can be applied to set rules on fields where the data is taken from an external data source.

I can show how to connect to an external data source in a separate demo.

If you have a request for a how to video, please let me know.

How to: Hide a Section

Continuing my series of "how to" videos, I show how to use conditional formatting to hide or show a section based on the values entered elsewhere in a form.

Conditional formatting can be incredibly valuable when you're creating a long, complex form where people might need to fill out different parts depending on the circumstances. By including a few, logical rules, you can ensure that people only see those parts of the form that are relevant to their circumstances. This makes the process of filling out the form much easier and reduces the frequency of errors, which can in turn reduce process costs.

If you have suggestions of features you'd like to see in this series, please leave a comment and I'll see what I can do.
