Can a conditional expression be used to expand or collapse a section using application designer?
I have a checkbox set up to indicate whether a work order needs QA review. I have added a section for the QA group to enter the review results. I would like for that section to be collapsed or hidden unless that checkbox is checked.
Is there a list somewhere of what the "properties" are and the valid values?
Thanx
Yes, here are some steps that should get you what you're looking for.
1) Create a Conditional Expression checking the value of the field you want it to be hidden based on.
2) Create a Signature Security Option in App Designer, you can call it something like "Hide QA Section"
3) In App Designer, attach the new signature security option to the section you want conditionally hidden ( I believe it's on the Advanced Tab of the properties window)
4) If you want it applied to everyone, In Security Groups, open the EVERYONE group, filter for the app you are affecting. Filter for the "Hide QA Section", grant the security right, and in the Condition field, put the condition you created from Step 1
5) Test!

Great response! Thanx
I have done these steps ... no results. What property do I need to set? Is there a list somewhere of these properties and what they actually do (and valid associated values)?

The Signature Security grant through security groups is what handles the hiding / showing of the section. The only thing in App Designer should be setting “Signature Option” property on the Advanced Tab of the section you want hidden.
Make sure the user you are testing as is in the EVERYONE group. Also, I forgot to mention to make sure “Always Evaluate?” is checked on the Conditional Expression. This will cause the condition to be always evaluated when a field is changed. Without that checked it only does a check once on record initialization (I believe).

It’s probably worth clarifying. The condition should return a “true” for when you want the section visible. The way MAXIMO works, is it will grant the user the security option when the condition evaluates to true, thereby showing the section. It will hide it in all other cases.
Consider a Conditional Expression of: worktype='CM'
When the security option is applied to the section, you’re saying to always hide the section unless it has been granted access through security.
In Security, we’re are saying to grant the option to the EVERYONE group, but only if the condition is true (in this case if the worktype field is set to CM)
So this works to effectively SHOW a section based on a condition. In this case, if the worktype is set to CM, the section will display, otherwise it won’t)
If you want the default state to be visible and then hidden based on the field values, you need to redo your condition. (worktype is null or worktype !='CM' )
Hope that helps clarify it a bit.

I did. I now have it working and have determined that what I was doing wrong. I added the security group on the "configure conditional properties" area from the advanced tab of the section properties in app designer. I knew it had to be something simple.

Subject: [MAXIMO List] Can conditional expression be used to collapse (or expand) a section
Can a conditional expression be used to expand or collapse a section using application designer?
I have a checkbox set up to indicate whether a work order needs QA review. I have added a section for the QA group to enter the review results. I would like for that section to be collapsed or hidden unless that checkbox is checked.
Is there a list somewhere of what the "properties" are and the valid values?
Thanx
