Welcome to an article on “Show or Hide Fields using rule in Nintex Forms on SharePoint 2013 & Office 365”. Today’s article will be used for every simple form you build on Nintex in SharePoint, so I would like to walk you through this functionality on Nintex.
Sometimes we require showing or hiding a file based on a Yes/No field or a check box. In this article we will see the same functionality using rules.
Let’s see how.
- On your list or library ribbon, click on Nintex Forms.
![forms]()
- You will reach the Nintex Designer View as per the screen below.
![nintex]()
- In our case, I have created a Enable/Disable a yes/no column check box with the default title field and on the selection of the check box will try to show the title field which will be hidden by default.
![forms]()
- So, let’s add a rule.
- On your right corner of the designer you will find a button Add Rule.
![add]()
- Click on it.
- The below Rules bar will open.
![rule]()
- On the bar, click on Add and configure your rule,
a. Name: Provide a name to the rule.
b. Rule Type: As for our case it will be ‘Formatting’.
c. Condition: Our condition will be not (EnableDisable) which means if my field is not check in, it
should be a valid rule.
d. We have checked in the ‘Hide’ check box so our field will be hidden unless the condition is
valid.
- Let’s publish the form now after making the changes.
![confirm]()
- Once you click on Publish, Click on Create New Item.
- The screen below of the new form opens with the field hidden by default.
![save]()
- Now when you will check the Enable/Disable field check box,
- The rule will apply and our Title field will become visible.
![title]()
- And it will apply vice versa when you check out.
Here you saw in this article how to show or hide fields based on yes /no check box. Keep reading articles and keep learning.
