In this session, I will show you how to create a dependent menu with Moodle ‘Database activity’. Sometimes, when you collect information with a ‘Database form’ in Moodle, the 'Add entry' page shows many fields. If this includes some non-compulsory fields, then you can use a dependent menu to reveal relevant fields only. In Moodle2.9, a ‘Database field’ can be made compulsory. However, if you are still using Moodle2.8 or a lower version, a dependent menu can make some fields 'act' as compulsory fields.
