Form action

 
 
A form action template allows to create conditional formatted templates / dynamic forms.
 
If in a (stepper) form, some fields should appear only if a field is set to a certain state, then this template can be used to show the (extra) information if a certain field respected a certain criteria. 
 
 
To see the details on how to create a dynamic deposit form based on certain criteria, see How to: Dynamic deposit form.
 
 
The designer section of the templates management will be opened when a new form action template is created or when one needs to be edited.
