FAQs

Decisions supports dynamic behavior through a variety of features:

Visibility Rules: Show or hide form controls based on user input or flow data.

Form Control Behavior: Controls have properties like Initial Visibility, Initially Enabled, Needs Confirmation pop-ups, etc.

Active Form Flows: For real-time updates to forms depending on events like value changes or user actions; e.g., dynamically setting Form control values.

Yes, you can. Decisions provides templates for mobile and tablet formats.

Yes. Forms are not limited to internal Flows. You can use External Forms that are invoked via HTML or service calls so that other systems (or external UI) can present or collect data via Decisions Forms.

Additionally, Forms can be used as Assignments, where a flow pauses until a user or system fills out the Form.

Yes. Decisions is designed for reusability. You can build rules, workflows, forms, data structures, and integrations as modular components and reuse them across multiple projects, applications, or teams.

This modular approach reduces development time, ensures consistency, and makes updates easier. Change a shared component once, and it can apply everywhere it’s used (with version control). It’s ideal for organizations managing large-scale or evolving processes.
