Deep Dive Session: Dynamic Operations Validation

Overview

On February 19th, 2020 TaroWorks led a deep dive session on Dynamic Operations Validation. This article recaps the session and resources shared.

Dynamic Operations is a very powerful feature that allows you to run calculations for, or validations against form question responses. You can write custom JavaScript to run as either a calculation or a validation. This session primarily focuses on dynamic operation validation. This feature allows you to write validation for question responses which will be automatically populated and not editable.

Agenda:

• Validations vs Calculations.
• Purpose
• JavaScript Guidelines

Validations vs Calculations.

Purpose.

• Custom Validation Dos restricts the data that can be collected by the field officers for specific questions at the time of collection.
