Worked Example

1. Create a new Asset Information Group field definition and select “Global Table Link” under field type. In the Global Table field, select your global table, and tick Validation Required. These forms are shown in the screenshot, outlined in red.

2. Edit the field layout of the Global Table Link field to display the form properly. Under Field Layout > Columns enter the number of columns you would like to display in the form. In this example we have chosen 2. You may alternatively select a category which has the number of columns predefined.

3. Select your Asset Information Group under Assets > [Asset] > Asset Information > Group and the Asset Information Group will display the questionnaire form. Navigating through the form will find a Global Table row via narrowing down the range of possible results that correspond to the combination of field values. In practice, this looks like a questionnaire that progresses one question at a time, until the result field is shown. The provided screenshot shows the questionnaire in a completed state. The result dropdown menu will contain the possible results according to the specified answers. Choosing a result will store a reference to it in the Asset Information Group.

4. We can edit the global table fields to configure which rows of the global table are queried in the questionnaire. This will alter the logic of which results are shown. For example, we hide the checkbox for question 3 by unchecking the Visible Form checkbox, so that the result is not dependent on question 3. After making changes to form visibility we will need to unselect and reselect the Asset Information Group from the assets screen to refresh the page.

5. The Asset Information Group will now display the altered questionnaire form, which does not factor question 3 into the result. This time, after progressing through the questionnaire, a larger number of possible results are shown in the results dropdown menu. The result can be chosen from the dropdown menu.
