Use the Control Logic dialog box to specify one or more conditions that cause Enterprise PDM to dynamically show, hide, or disable a data card control.
For example, you can apply control logic to a language-specific input field so that it is hidden or disabled unless a corresponding language-specific check box is checked.
You can apply control logic to only one control at a time.
To add control logic to a control:
- In the Card Editor, open the card and select the control to which you want to add control logic.
- Click .
- In the Control Logic dialog box, under Actions, click Click here to add an action.
-
Select the behavior of the control when the logic is satisfied:
-
To make the control read-only, select Grey out.
- To hide the control, select Hide.
- Click Click here to add condition.
-
If you want the action to be triggered by any of several conditions, select
.
If all conditions must be met, you can select 
or simply add the conditions that must be met.
- Select a variable whose value will trigger the control logic action.
The variable must exist on the same card as the control.
- Under Comparison, select how the value is interpreted.
For example, Date Equal To or Date Less Than.
- Under Value, type the variable value that will trigger the control logic.
- To add another condition, repeat steps 5 through 9.
- To delete an action or condition, select it and select
Delete from the list.
- Click OK.
When using the card, if the user provides a value for the variable that matches the control logic criteria, the control action (to hide or disable the control) is performed.
