The form itself can be downloaded for use from our intranet.&amp;nbsp;Following company protocol, the authoriser must submit the form to the team responsible for payment as authorisation for the purchase. Here is how I have curently set up the form and its use:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;The requestor completes the form, which includes the authoriser&amp;#39;s name and email in two separate text boxes. These are required fields.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;The submit button has a rule to auto-complete the &amp;#39;to&amp;#39; field with the authoriser&amp;#39;s email.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Once the authoriser has received the form and agrees to the purchase, they can forward the form to the payment team from Outlook.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;p&gt;Although this does work, I&amp;#39;m looking to streamline the service and avoid any confusion to the customer with the form and how to process it. My query is:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Is it possible to have two submit buttons on the form, each one in a separate section that can be hidden using rules? I&amp;#39;ve used the rules section before now to show/hide sections depending on the criteria filled out on the form but the problem I&amp;#39;m having is that I can&amp;#39;t see how to use&amp;nbsp;the submit buttons&amp;nbsp;themselves&amp;nbsp;as the rule to show/hide sections? They don&amp;#39;t show up as an option.&amp;nbsp;What I would like to do is hide the authoriser&amp;#39;s &amp;#39;submit&amp;#39;&amp;nbsp;button until after the requestor has clicked their&amp;nbsp;&amp;#39;submit&amp;#39; to send it for authorisation. I would then like to hide the requestor&amp;#39;s &amp;#39;submit&amp;#39; button once the authoriser has received the form, i.e.:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Submission button section&amp;nbsp;- hide once it has been clicked.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Authorisation button section&amp;nbsp;- only show after Submission button has been clicked.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;p&gt;I hope that&amp;#39;s all clear. It&amp;#39;s a little confusing to explain!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Many thanks&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Adam&lt;/p&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
