Capture boolean false for an error message and restricting the save button

Posted on by Trisect

Hi Folks

I have an app I am hoping to build being a newby.

I have a list of questions with a toggle beside each one sitting as false with the colour red, and then green for true.

What I want to do is capture any false values and provide an error message to fill in a text box for each false value.

Once completed I can then allow the save and send button to work.

Where the toggles are all true, then the error message would not be required.

Cheers

Hi @Trisect

Without knowing the exact setup of your app, this may not be exactly what you need but hopefully will guide you enough to get you to your desired result.

If you have some error message that you want to display when a toggle is set to false, simply set the visibility of the label/text input control used for displaying the error to !Toggle1.Value

To enable the save button when a certain condition is met like all text input controls have been filled out, you can simply set the DisplayMode property of the save button to be based on a condition. Something like this: If(conditionTrue, DisplayMode.Edit, DisplayMode.Disabled)

Let me know if this helps.

Hi Hardit
Many thanks for your reply, greatly appreciated.
I am building a take 5 risk assessment tool with the top of the first screen having (job number, name, location, task, date and business unit all required), I then have 24 questions related to the safety of workers and they will have to answer before moving on.
Where they have all true values, they can enter the email and press the save and send button which I want the app to save to the database and also pdf into a table and send to the email they place into the app.
Where they have any false values, they will be required to go to a second screen to enter the following (hazard type, hazard description and controls), they then have the option to include a photo.
Once completed they can press the save and send button.
With the toggle buttons (I have formatted them in red for false and green for true, this is both a value and a visual prompt.
I was thinking to use an IF statement to check all 24 values and where any are false then prompt the user to complete the hazard section.
I need to drive the behaviour to complete the app correctly, as this will make a difference as to whether it is used properly.
Your feedback is greatly appreciated.
Cheers

Hi Hardit
I was able to disable to the save button using the code below, though it does not work on the drop down list.
If(IsBlank(TextInputJobNo_1) || IsBlank(TextInputName_1) || IsBlank(TextInputLocation_1) || IsBlank(TextInputTask_1) || IsBlank(TextInputEmail),
DisplayMode.Disabled,
DisplayMode.Edit
)
Cheers
