Sequence of Events for Field States

 Previous  Home topic  Next  Print this topic Send Feedback

PerfectForms™ runs through a specific sequence of events for managing field states. First, PerfectForms™ sets the field states as defined in state management using the following order:

 

1.All Stages/All Roles - Any default state settings set with the specific combination of All Stages and All Roles are made first.
2.Current Stage All Roles - Next, PerfectForms™ checks the current stage and if there is a combination of that stage and the All Roles setting, then those states will be set. Any states set with the All Stages/All Roles combination will be overwritten.
3.Current Role/All Stages - Next, PerfectForms™ checks the role of the user accessing the form. If there is a combination of that role and the All Stages setting, then those states will be set. All prior states will be overwritten.
4.Current Stage/Current Role - Lastly, if the combination of the current stage and the current role of the user accessing the form were defined, then those states will be set. All prior states will be overwritten.

 

 

Behaviors

 

Once the above actions have taken place, PerfectForms™ checks for any events with behavior commands that need to be executed. These are checked in the following order:

 

1.Form is opened.
2.Page is shown.
3.Object is shown.
