This tool moves the job to different tools based on the equations entered. Unlike other processing tools, the Complex Goto tool has no connectors visibly attached to it. Instead it had up to ten virtual connectors that are used as needed. The tool's properties are pairs of equations and tools. It works similar to a Select Case statement.
As jobs enter the Complex Goto tool, the equations are evaluated one at a time, starting at the top. As soon as an equation is found to be true, the job is routed to the tool that has been selected in the corresponding combo box. If all the given equation-tool pairs have been evaluated, and they all return false, the job will be routed to the tool that has been chosen as the Else Tool, which is the final property in the Properties window.
