Filtering derived fields

You can reduce the possible choices for a dependent field, for example blue colors:

  • (color) BLUE
    • (shade) GREEN BLUE
      • (sub-shade) TEAL
      • (sub-shade) AQUA
      • (sub-shade) SEAFOAM
    • (shade) DARK BLUE
      • (sub-shade) SLATE
      • (sub-shade) NAVY
  • Primary field -- the field that controls the values in a dependent field according to a pre-defined association. Values are specified manually in the primary field.
  • Dependent field -- derives its value from a value in a primary field. Optiva presents a pre-defined filtered subset of values from an enumerated list in this field.
