You can use Conditions to modify how or which elements are shown, flag a response, or trigger additional actions based on the responses to Questions in the Document.
There are two types of Conditions available: Standard Conditions and Flagged Conditions.
Standard Condition
Standard Conditions allow you to modify how other elements are shown in the Document based on how a Question is answered. You can:
Hide or Show a Question, Section, Group, or Composite Question Collapse
Expand or Collapse a Section, Group, or Composite Question
Grey-out or Disable the grey-out of a Question, Section, Group, or Composite Question
Flagged Condition
Flagged Conditions enable you to prompt users to do something after a Document is completed. While the flag cannot force the user to complete the action, you can pair a Flagged Condition with a Document-based Action Trigger to create a Workflow Task to help manage task completion.
You can add Conditions to most Question types with the exception of Text, Comment, Data Field, and Data List.
Conditions can include one or more criteria, and you can choose to apply the condition when any criteria are met or when all criteria are met. The criteria itself can be no response (i.e. when the question is not answered) or a specific response. After configuring the Condition, you can set up the Applied Elements (i.e. the action you want to take when the criteria is met).
