What is a "Show/Hide" dependency?

A "Show/Hide" field dependency causes a field to be dynamically displayed or hidden based on the value selected by the user in one of the picklist fields in the form.

  • Controlling Field - The picklist field that drives such dynamic Show/Hide behavior.
  • Dependent Field - The field that is displayed or hidden dynamically.
    • Dependent Fields are marked using ℹ️ icon in 'Add Requirement' and 'Edit Requirement' pages in Accompa.

For Example

Let us say you wanted to set up your Accompa system such that the Add Requirement page displays Dimensions field only when a user selects a hardware product from the picklist field Products.

You can achieve this using the "Show/Hide" Field Dependency in Accompa and using the following configuration:

  • Controlling Field = Products
  • Dependent Field = Dimensions
