Trigger onView Rules for HRIS Elements

You can use this scenario to create rules that default the value for a field, change field properties, or calculate fields that are transient (this means that the result is not a fixed value stored on the database but is calculated during rule execution when the user calls up the page). In Manage Business Configuration, rules created using this scenario can be used only for the onView event type.

1. When an 'onView" business is set on a field visibility as example below:
   1. 
   2.  
2. And when the field value is switched, the rule appears to be working fine:
   1. 
   2.  
3. But when the field is switched back to another value in the same session, the behaviour doesn't seem to change dynamically:
   1. 

 

This behavior is working as designed. Please note that onView rules are not triggered dynamically within the same session when changes are made in the section.

When a field is hidden through an onView rule, an onChange rule cannot subsequently make it visible again within the same session.
