Hi All

This is what I need to implement. I want to create a form in infopath and let staff to fill it up. The management team members will have the option to approve/reject the forms. In case the form approved, another section should appear and allow the person who fills up the form to continue entering details. Rejected forms will not get this section.

1- I've created the first section which will be filled by all staff.

2- I've created another view for the management and I added a radio button for (Aprroved: Yes NO)

I have to set roles for managment

3- I've created another optional section in the management. This section contains the details that need to be filled out if it is approved. This mean I need to create a rule. If the radio button (Yes) is choosen, Then Show this section.

Can any one help me in doing the last step

Assign the Radio Button to a Data Source, apply conditional formatting to the section so that when the radio button sets the data source value called Approved then dont hide the section. This can be performed by setting up a hide this control when Approved Data source is not equal to 'Yes'

Hope that helps.

Can you tell me how to hide the section by default Now before I start filling up the form I can see the section by clicking on the insert link. How can I make the section hiden when openning the form

Thanks

Make sure your conditional formatting expression also tests for the default value of the status element you are examining. Assuming the field is called "Approval" and it starts out as blank, add an "or" condition; e.g.

Approval is not equal to "Approved" or

Approval is blank

Hide this control
