I have a form with a variety of check boxes which the user must select. I would like to disable certain check boxes depending on if a user selects a certain check box. Is this possible with Formativ?
With Formativ 1.6 and earlier versions, a dynamic user interface is possible with an HTML portal or HTML dialog. You could, for instance, encode rules into a group of checkboxes using JavaScript.
Alternatively, you could divide your dialog’s logic among a series of Formativ dialogs, approximating the ‘Wizard’ user interface metaphor. For example, choices made in dialog 1 would affect whether dialogs 3 and 4 appear.
The forthcoming release of Formativ, due in early 2004, includes a new WYSIWYG form designer. In addition, the new forms make it possible to respond to user ‘events’ dynamically (as in your checkboxes example). If you wish to learn more about Formativ 2.0, please send an email to support@advansyscorp.com.
