Single Data Set with different data elements possible?

Support - Assistance technique
1

Dear community,
Is it possible to have a data set with different data elements per usage scenario? So for example,

Data elements

Element 1

Element 2

Element 3

Category

Cat 1

Cat 2

Data Set

Elements out of stock

In the above, is is possible to have the data set form show Element 1 and 2 when Cat 1 is selected and show only Element 3 when Cat 2 is selected?

Hi Leke,

There is no native functionality in the aggregate data entry modules to do this. You would need to implement this with JavaScript in your custom form.

Best regards,

Jason

okay, i was looking at that option but won’t that create null values for the hidden data elements?
So if i have Elements 1 and 2 filled and hide Element 3, my understanding is that there will be a null value for Element 3 in the DB and analysis tools like Pivot table.

Is that correct?

Hi Sele,

There will be NO value, not a null value. I am not sure the distinction is important, but there should not be a value in analytics at all if no data has been transmitted.
