When configuring Attributes, you may have the need to show or hide an Attribute based on the value of a different Attribute. For example, if a customer select Yes to a question, then you would show them an additional question. If they select No, then they aren’t asked the next question.
Example
Dependent Attributes are useful for many different scenario:
- After a Yes / No question to collection more information.
- Offer more choices after one choice has been made.
Requirements
To configured dependent Attributes, you need to have at least the following:
- Attribute #1 – Type is one of Combobox, Combolist, Checkbox, Checkbox List, Radio Buttons or Rank.
- Attribute #2 – Another Attribute where you configure the dependency.
Quick Tip – You can set multiple Attributes to display when a value is entered, just set up the same dependency on each Attribute.
