#### Configuration steps:

1. Create field templates and configure the field visibility for them: ***! Note that Base Template configuration is not needed for v.15+. Base fields are configured in item view configuration.*** *Module > Field Templates* ![image1.png](https://cdn.document360.io/3a63e0a8-1221-4570-aaa1-d43f9b95a612/Images/Documentation/360001185166.png)*Module > Field Usage > Templates* ![image2.png](https://cdn.document360.io/3a63e0a8-1221-4570-aaa1-d43f9b95a612/Images/Documentation/360001185246.png)
2. (**!For versions before v.15!** )Assign *Base template* in Module > Settings > Field Template for Add/Edit Item.

3. Assign Print template and TV template to corresponding options in Module > Field definition > Job Type. Leave the option “Web” without any template assigned.

4. **For v.15+:**Fields that are configured to be shown by dynamic forms should not be present in item view configuration.
5. Go to module search result and try to create a new item.

As a result you will see that initially only 2 base fields are shown in Add Item window: *Job Name* and *Job Type*. Selecting a value in *Job Type* selectbox (e.g. *Print*), will additionally show the fields *Paper size* and *Artwork*related to print job type. If you change the job type to *TV*, fields related to print will be hidden and *TV channel* and *Broadcast*shown instead. Selecting job type *Web*will not show any additional fields just hide not relevant, since this option has no specific template assigned and inherit the *Base template*.
