Make a Field Required… But Only in Certain Cases? Let the AI Assistant Help

You’ve probably had this kind of need:

“This field should be required, but only if the request exceeds a certain amount.”

:backhand_index_pointing_right: This is a perfect use case for a conditional rule, and ROK’s AI Assistant can help you configure it in just a few steps.


:speech_balloon: What You Can Say to the Assistant

  • “Make the ‘Justification’ field required if the amount is greater than €1,000.”
  • “The ‘Delivery Date’ field should only be visible if the request type is ‘Equipment’.”
  • “Hide the ‘Forecasted Budget’ field if the requester is from the HR department.”

:robot: What the AI Assistant Actually Does

It guides you step by step to:

  • Identify the correct task and form
  • Target the specific field
  • Write the logical condition based on your criteria (value, role, type, etc.)
  • Apply the right rule (visibility, requirement, hiding, etc.)

Bonus features include:

:white_check_mark: A ready-to-use formula
:white_check_mark: Clear instructions on how to implement it
:white_check_mark: Suggestions on how to test the rule in the user interface


:brain: Smart Rule Examples You Can Set Up
