| + | ====== What link opened the page? ====== | ||
| + | This evaluation will pass if the selected link field opened the current page, and will fail if the page was opened by a different link. | ||
| + | ===== Explanation ===== | ||
| + | Evaluations have two [[Automation Trigger|automation triggers]] associated with them : Then and Else. Actions under the "Then" automation trigger execute when the evaluation passes, and actions under the "Else" automation execute when the evaluations fails. | ||

| + | |||
| + | Form opened by evaluations are used to execute a set of actions if the current page was opened by a certain link field, and another set of actions if a different link field opened the page. | ||
| + | |||
| + | Example : Suppose an application has a [[Form Type - List|list]] of Contact's that an Administrator User can see and another list of Contact's that non-Administrator Users can see. These two lists have different [[Field Type - Link|links fields]] on them that both open the same [[Form Type - Page|page]], Add Contact. On that page, a form should be shown if an administrator is viewing the page, and it should be hidden if a non-administrator user is viewing the page. One way to accomplish this is to create a form opened by action on the "Form Security" automation trigger of the form to be effected, and under the appropriate automation trigger add a [[Action Type - Hide Form|hide form]] action. | ||
