About Field Visibility Rules
Field visibility rules allow you to dynamically show or hide specific fields on the entry page based on the values entered in certain fields. This ensures a clean and efficient data entry process, displaying only the relevant fields and improving data accuracy.
Key Features
- Dynamic Behavior: Rules act as conditions that determine whether certain fields appear or disappear as users fill out an entry.
- Custom Configuration: While creating or editing content types, you can set these rules to tailor the entry to specific data requirements.
- Enhanced User Experience: This feature is widely used in online forms and shopping sites to streamline the entry process, ensuring users see only what’s necessary.
Use Cases
Field Visibility Rules are commonly used in forms to create a streamlined experience. Here are some examples:
- E-commerce Checkout: Selecting the Same as Shipping Address checkbox hides the Billing Address field.
- Gender-based Fields: Choosing Male for Gender can automatically add "Mr." before the First Name and hide female-specific titles.
- Job Application Forms: Selecting Have any prior experience? displays the Years of Experience field, while deselecting it hides the field.
Tip: Remember to create an entry to see the rule in action.
Note: Only the stack owners, admins, and users assigned to the developer role can create Field Visibility Rules in the stack.
This feature ensures a streamlined, intuitive experience while maintaining data accuracy. By configuring these rules, you can create more efficient forms tailored to specific content requirements.
