A "Filter List" field dependency causes the values in a picklist field to be dynamically filtered based on the value selected by the user in another picklist field.

• Controlling Field - The field that drives such dynamic filtering.
• Dependent Field - The field that has its values filtered dynamically.
  • Dependent Fields are marked using icon in 'Add Requirement' and 'Edit Requirement' pages in Accompa.

Example:

Let us say you have set up your Accompa system such that the Add Requirement page contains the picklist fields Product and Module, among other fields.

Your objective is to enable your users to select a product from the Product field, and then select a corresponding module of that product from the Module field.

In order to implement this, you want the Module field to only contain those modules that are available for the product the user selected in the Product field. You can achieve this using the "Filter List" Field Dependency in Accompa and using the following configuration:

• Controlling Field = Product
• Dependent Field = Module
