f. Conditional question behaviors
There are 2 parts to this section: the behavior and the condition
You can define one or multiple behaviors for your question as the predefined list
Show when the value of the other field is: the question will be shown when other question(s) satisfy conditions.
E.g The question “AddOnCoverSumInsured” is shown when question
”IsAddOnCoverIncluded” equals “Yes”
Hide when value of other field is: the question will be hidden when other question(s) satisfy conditions.
E.g The question “AddOnCoverSumInsured” is hide when question
”IsAddOnCoverIncluded” equals to “No”
Disable when value of other field is: the question will be disabled when other question(s) satisfies conditions.
Set value when value of other field is: the question value will be set as defined when other question(s) satisfies conditions. Using when there is a predefined value based on other fields.
E.g. The question “Deductible” is set value “1000” when the question “Cover” is “Ansvar”, as the deductible is fixed with covers.
Populate from other field : the question value will be filled in when another question is answered. The filled-in value is defined in the AgencyLookup file, in the Product Settings. Usually, this behavior is used for the read-only question.
E.g The question “City” is populated from the “Postcode” lookup when the question “Postcode“ is filled in. When you enter “0880” in the Postcode question, then the value “Oslo” is populated in the City question
Clear dependent values: other question values will be cleared when the question is cleared
E.g: The question value “OwnerName” is cleared when the user clears the value of the question “RegistrationNumber”
When choosing a behavior, the corresponding condition will be displayed below
For the behaviour a, b, c, d: You can set one or multiple conditions, each condition will have 3 fields: question, where clause, and value. You can input any value in the Value field
For the behaviour e: You can define the condition question and the lookup name. The lookup name must be matched with a sheet in the AgencyLookup file
For the behaviour f: You can define one or multiple questions, so when users clear the question, then these defined questions’ values will be cleared either.
