Dependent Field Cross Reference - field descriptions

Fields are presented in the order that they are presented in a form. Click a link to see the field descriptions for the form.

Overview

Use this page to configure the relationship between a primary value and a dependent value. These relationships can be one-to-one or one-to-many.

Defining these relationships will:

Reduce manual data entry tasks for the end users.
Fill custom fields automatically.
Serve as input values to Action Sets.

One to One relationships

Ice cream flavors are an example of a one-to-one relationship. When users enter Vanilla in the Flavor field, White is displayed in the Color field automatically.

One to Many relationships

You can have more than one field dependent upon a primary field. In this example, Shade 1 and Shade 3 are both dependent upon Color.

When users select Blue from the Color extension field:

Baby Blue is displayed automatically in Shade 1.
Navy Blue is displayed automatically in Shade 3.

When users select Red from the Color extension field:

Candy Apple Red is displayed in Shade 1.
Fire Engine Red is displayed in Shade 3.
