Controling action button using on preset validation.Controling action button using on preset validation.

 

As a modeller, I want to have control over the dashboard button to enable/disable based on the specific conditions. So that I can control valid seletions in filters.

    Resurrecting this suggestion as I am coming across this in quite a few conversations where customers are asking for these types of requests - sort of how you can complete a purchase without a CVV number for the credit card.  Conditional formatting and DCA will "warn" to an extent but tying the action button to a cell would be great

    I have an incentive compensation management model where salespeople submit billing claims through the tool. They must include certain criteria in order for the claim to be eligible to be processed for commission payment. Would be great to be able to leverage DCA on the "submit" process button.

    I work at HPE and this would definitely be useful for a lot of different use cases. One example is we have implemented a workflow process where certain fields are mandatory in order to submit for approval or move to the next step in the workflow. I have put conditional formatting and messaging on the dashboard but it would be a lot better to disable the submit button if not all required fields are populated. It's very confusing from an end user perspective that the button is allowed to be pressed and the messaging says successful even though nothing is saving

    We have a need to disable a button to approve a journal if the journal approver is the same as the journal creator. It would be nice to have a boolean line item which does this check and drives the ability to run the action/button.

    This would be extremely helpful for users! It is a very standard and intuitive practice for users to have action buttons disabled until all inputs are valid. Currently, we show them validation warnings in a grid/card before they run the process. If the user still goes ahead and runs the process we fail it at the start. However, this can be quite annoying for users.
