Configuring Dynamic Data Sets
This flexible uDesigner option can be used on business processes and attributes forms. It allows one data element on the form to the control both values and behavior of other data elements on the same form.
A dynamic data set is comprised of a "set" of data elements that includes a master data element and dependent data elements, which can be pull-down menus or radio buttons. The values that are available to users at runtime for the dependent fields are dependent on the selection the user makes for the master data element field. A dynamic data set can be used on business processes and attributes forms, and allows one data element on the form to control both values and the behavior of other data elements on the same form.
For example, you can define a dynamic data set that includes a Country, State, City, Postal Code and Zip Code data elements that function as pull-down menus on a form. The Country field is a master data element. The set can be configured so that, at runtime, the user must select a value for Country, which dynamically controls the values that are available to be chosen for State. The user then selects a State, which drives the choices available for City.
Field behavior (such as required, or read-only) can also be controlled by the dynamic data set. For example, a dynamic data set might include data elements for Country, Zip Code and Postal Code. At runtime, depending on the selected value for the Country, the Zip code field may get become enabled and a required field, while the Postal Code field becomes disabled.
