Make a Tabstop Conditional

Overview

Control the tab key when data entry involves selecting a check box.

Details

You can make a tab stop conditional on a validation type situation. For example, on the base Intake Assessment there is a check box for other eating disorders. When the check box is selected, an edit field displays for the user to enter the disorder. If the check box isn’t selected, using the tab key to move to the next field will still stop on the hidden edit field, as shown below.

To get the tab stop to automatically skip the hidden field and go to the next field, you would need to go to the design of the form and find the edit field after the check box (usually it is behind a Tieredit), and specify the TabStopCondition.
