Dynamic form rules
On this page
Introduction
The SolarWinds Service Desk (SWSD) Dynamic Forms Rules feature lets you display a specific form based on an end user's or technician's selections when they are submitting an incident, service request, or change.
Custom Forms are a standalone group of fields. Dynamic Form Rules define when a specific form will appear.
Based on the details entered by the user, additional information regarding the current incident is requested.
