Regarding classic workflows, they aren't suitable for controlling field visibility on forms. Workflows run in the background and can't interact with the form’s UI in real-time, so they won’t help with showing or hiding fields based on user responses. Business Rules, on the other hand, work directly on the form and respond immediately to user input, making them the most effective and maintainable solution for this use case.
To implement this, you first create a new Business Rule for the relevant table. Within the rule, you set up a condition—for example, if the user selects No in a Yes/No field like Has Discount?. Then, you add an action to the rule to set visibility for another field, such as hiding the “Discount Amount” column when the condition is met. You can apply this logic to multiple fields if needed. After defining the rule, make sure it is scoped to the correct form or all forms, and then activate it. Business Rules automatically apply the logic at runtime on the form without requiring any coding, making them an ideal choice for functional consultants and app makers. They also help keep the app easy to maintain and modify, especially when the logic involves simple visibility toggling based on user input. Hope this will help you! Regards, Mansi Soni
