PerfectForms™ will consider each of the combinations using a hierarchical model as follows:

 

First Level:

Stage = All

Role = All

 

Second Level:

Stage = Specific

Role = All (Overrides 1st level)

 

Third Level:

Stage = All

Role = Specific (Overrides 1st and 2nd level)

 

Fourth Level:

Stage = Specific

Role = Specific (Overrides 1st, 2nd and 3rd level)

 

 

The possible state selections are as follows (not applicable to all objects):

 

Default

No state marker

The object will retain the same state that it had the last time the form instance was submitted.

 

Normal

State Marker - Normal

The object is visible and editable.

 

Read-only

State Marker - Read-Only

The object is visible but not editable.

 

Disabled

State Marker - Disabled

The object is visible but grayed out and not editable.

 

Hidden

State Marker - Hidden

The object is hidden from view.

 

 

Within the State section of an object's properties, you may also choose to set the field as required by checking the Mandatory answer check box. For additional information on this option see the Mandatory Answer Property topic in this help guide.
