How to show Form elements dynamically on NITRO Forms based on certain conditions

Applies To

SharePoint Online and SharePoint On-Premises

Description

This article describes the steps to show images/text/hyperlinks in the NITRO Forms depending on certain criteria. As an example, this can be used to show specific instructions on the form depending on column values selected on the form.

In this article, we have taken the example scenario of “Populate additional information based on Issue Type selection on the Ticket”. Whenever user selects the Issue Type on the form then corresponding instructions will be rendered on the form. This article is assuming that Issue Type list has “Template” column of type multiple lines of enhanced rich text and Tickets list has Additional Information column of same type as Template column.

Summary of Steps

  1. Configure Lookup settings
  2. Configure permissions on column

Detailed Steps

1. Configure Lookup Settings

Please navigate to Application Administration –> Configure Lists –> Configure Tickets –> Crow Canyon NITRO Forms –> go to Advanced Section in left panel –> configure lookup setting for Issue Type column like below

Note

We need to configure similar lookup setting for Edit Form in the NITRO form settings as well.

2. Permissions on Additional Information column:

Please navigate to Application Administration –> Configure Lists –> Configure Tickets –> Crow Canyon NITRO Forms –> click on “Additional Information” column –> Permissions in right hand side panel –> Configure Hide and Read permissions like below

Hide Permission

Show Permission

Enable dynamic condition evaluation as shown below

 

With the above configurations, if the issue type selected on the form that has information in Template column, it will be shown on the NITRO Form under “Additional Information” column as shown below, otherwise, it will be hidden.

 

Note

If we require similar feature in Portal forms as well, we need to repeat the same steps in Portal form settings.
