Online Application Requirements

Now I am stuck again. Too many variables in my clients set of requirements.

Is there any way to have each tab have it's own requirement set? Not force them to fill out all required fields in all tabs to save the application. This is one of my big challenges because some things are straight up required and it would be nice to force certain things without the progress being involved.

If not can the profile be set to some kind of multiple page/tab system where they have to complete something before then next thing opens. This still kind of requires being able to save things without all info filled in. Perhaps it's the same as the other where if it's not shown it's not required until they see it?

Sorry this is such a mess. I know there is a way.

Thanks

I almost had an idea working. I was able to hide the next tab and make a field in that tab required. However when I selected the field in the tab showing and clicked update it showed an error. Is there anyway to save the profile, show the hidden tab that is triggered by the field but not have an error until they try and save it again without the new required filed filled in?

This may solve many of my issues being able to actually set things to required. Like I said my main hurdle is not being able to set fields to required and allow them to save part of the profile. I know that's counterintuitive but not in my case. No one can finish this application in one sitting. So the hidden tab with the next set of things some required is not working with that error.

Is there a way around this?

If the tab or field is hidden by CB Conditional then its required state is ignored. The only way to ignore the required state is to make the field unaccessible either through conditions or ACL.

You can condition subsequent tabs or fields to show based off the value of the last field in the last tab being complete. There is no multi-page registration or profile edit functionality in CB. You could have a checkbox field at the end of each tab that asks if they're ready to continue. They'd check that checkbox and it'd show the next tab. You'd do this for each tab basically.

Which does not work. The new tab immediately shows an error when clicking update on the last tab. Don't want a bunch of error messages.

I would rather figure out the database query option as this method would be better. The hidden required tab option has some other oddities I found.

I hope we can solve this somehow. Most everything else is great just this confusing application piece.

It works perfectly fine. See our demo site where it's working perfectly fine (fields 2-4 are marked required). You likely have a condition conflict. A field can only be conditioned once.

CB Query Field simply executes the SQL you supply it and displays it. That's all it does. It's not going to toggle the required states of fields or anything of the sort.
