if cases in TSGui

[sophiegewillig]

Hello all, I'm trying to achieve the following. The computertype can be "Laptop" or "Virtual Computer"

Depending on the choice for laptop it should then ask for a "dropdown location" - a "dropdown department" and a "dropdown software"

For virtual computer it should then ask only for a "dropdown software"

I have no idea how to alter the dropdown lists after choosing the computer type

Hi there, you use the 'Groups and Toggles' feature to do this. The dropdown with the computer type is the toggle, and you disable/enable other items based on that toggle using the '' element. There is how-to videos on this feature on youtube: part 1 & part 2

If this lot doesn't help or you get stuck contact me via the 20road.com contact page

Here is an example config that should hopefully get you started:

<TsGui LiveData="TRUE">
    <Height>250</Height>
    <Width>450</Width>
