This silent demonstration shows a staff member defining which applicants see a section.

  1. In the builder, open the display rule for Previous colleges.
  2. Choose Applicant type, the operator “is”, and the value “Transfer”. Save the rule and use “Show section”.
  3. In the applicant preview, First-year does not show Previous colleges. Switching to Transfer reveals it.
  4. The revealed section is incomplete: Previous college name is required and blank. Switching back to First-year hides the section again.

Start with the questions.
Then test the path.
