Forms Laserfiche Cloud

Updated January 31, 2022

asked on January 28, 2022

Hello,

This is the first time trying to put JS on Cloud...

The form is made with the new designer.

There is simple requirement:

if the Value in Field 1 is A & Field 2 is B then result should be X

if the Value in Field 1 is C & Field 2 is D then result should be Y

All fields are Single Line fields.

Can anyone please help, really stuck....?

Regards,

Hi Sonia,

Thank you for your input. Based on the scenario provided, a calculation should be the easiest route to accomplish the logic desired in the form. Looking at previous responses, a calculation along the lines what James suggested could do the trick. Here is a sample that you can use as a base for your own form: =IF(AND(a="a",b="b"),"Yes",IF(AND(c="c",d="d"),"Maybe",
"No"))

If you have more logic to handle you can use a Decision Table straight in the form, no need for Workflow.

I hope this information helps.

I wouldn't use JS for this. I would use a calculation on the result field. Something like...

IF(AND(field1="A", field2="B"),"X",IF(AND(field1="C", field2="D"),"Y","!"))

Doing this off the top of my head, so the exact syntax will probably need adjustment

If there is a reason you have to do this in JS it would be something like...

$(document).ready( function() {
   $(".Field1 input, .Field2 input").change( function () {
       const f1 = $(".Field1 input").val();
       const f2 = $(".Field2 input").val();
       if (f1=="A" && f2=="B")
           let result = "X"
       else
           if (f1=="C" && f2=="D")
               let result = "Y"
           else
               let result = "!";
   });
});

This is for cloud?

It's jQuery and JavaScript. I don't use Cloud so I'm not certain, but the language shouldn't be any different.

Thanks James, will try & report.

That's just the scenario, the actual case is bit long.

How would you use switch statement for this?

Hi Sonia,

You can find some JS reference in our Help Files that details how JS works on the New Forms designer in Cloud, it is a bit different than in self-hosted, so I recommend you visit the Help Files to get acquainted with the JS options.

Now, another alternative that you can try to work with this situation and perhaps avoid JS is use a Decision Table to handle the logic straight in the Form or with an IF calculation.

Thanks Maria for the help files.... I didn't post question without reading it.

The decision table would need the WF to run first.... which is not ideal for this .

It would have been really helpful if you could have helped with the scenario I have....
