Tutorial: Hiding and displaying summary screen elements
To control what the user sees on the summary screen at different stages of an interview, you apply visibility attributes to the associated controls in the summary screen definition. Rules set the values of these attribute to control their state.
Common uses of visibility attributes on the summary screen are:
to display a goal to investigate at the start of the interview, but then to hide it at the end, and
to display additional labels at the end of the interview, but have them hidden initially
Example
Let's say you have a procedural rule such as this:
the interview is complete if
the claimant is known and
it is known whether or not the claimant is eligible for low income allowance
You want to use this as your goal on the summary screen at the start of the interview, but at the end of the interview you instead want to display whether or not the claimant is eligible for the allowance.
To do this you would follow the process described below:
Step 1. Write the rules to control the display of the summary screen elements
In Microsoft Word, add the following rules:
the goal for completing the interview should not be displayed on the summary screen if
the interview is complete
the eligibility goal should be displayed on the summary screen if
the interview is complete
These rule conclusions are the attributes you will use as your visibility attributes.
Step 2. Add the procedural goal and visibility attribute to the summary screen
Open the summary screen in your screens file.
Add a new goal for the attribute "the interview is complete".
Change the Unknown caption to "Click here to determine eligibility for low income allowance".
Add the visibility attribute "the goal for completing the interview should be displayed on the summary screen" with the default state of Enabled.
Step 3. Add the eligibility goal and visibility attribute to the summary screen
On your summary screen, add a new goal for the attribute "the claimant is eligible for low income allowance".
Add the Visibility attribute "the eligibility goal should be displayed on the summary screen" with the default state of Hidden.
