Show Or Hide Fields Using Rule In Nintex Forms On SharePoint 2013 & Office 365

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.
  
  
  
  
• You will reach the Nintex Designer View as per the screen below.
  
  
  
  
• 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.
  
  
  
  
• So, let’s add a rule.
  
• On your right corner of the designer you will find a button Add Rule.
  
  
  
  
• Click on it.
  
• The below Rules bar will open.
  
  
  
  
• 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.
  
  
  
  
• Once you click on Publish, Click on Create New Item.
  
• The screen below of the new form opens with the field hidden by default.
  
  
  
  
• Now when you will check the Enable/Disable field check box,
  
• The rule will apply and our Title field will become visible.
  
  
  
  
• And it will apply vice versa when you check out.
