After configuring child conditions for a parent condition, configure the values that should be entered when the condition is true and when the condition is false.
A then insert statement is used when the condition is true. An else insert statement is used when the condition is false.
To configure an advanced condition value:
-
From the Advanced Condition dialog box, determine whether you want to configure a true or false condition.
True condition values are configured within then insert statements. False condition values are configured within else insert statements.
-
Click the hyperlink in either a then insert row or an else insert row:
The Insert Value dialog box is displayed:
-
Select the value to insert when the parent condition is true or false, depending on whether you selected a then insert or an else insert hyperlink, respectively.
Value Type
Description
Nothing
The value for the Advanced Condition Placeholder is blank when the parent condition is true or false.
Text
The value for the Advanced Condition Placeholder is static text when the parent condition is true or false.
Enter the appropriate text in the Text field.
Placeholder
The value for the Advanced Condition Placeholder is the value of another Placeholder when the parent condition is true or false.
Select the appropriate Placeholder from the Placeholder drop-down list. Note the following:
-
Other Placeholder values that are formatted to display as a table cannot be inserted using Advanced Condition Placeholders.
-
If a selected Placeholder in an Advanced Condition Placeholder is deleted, the insert value is reset to Nothing.
-
Placeholders that are formatted to display as bar code images only output a value for an Advanced Condition Placeholder. The bar code image is not generated.
Fragment
The value for the advanced condition is a fragment or another template when the parent condition is true or false.
Note:Inserting a fragment into itself or any dependent fragments is not supported. For example, fragment "HR - Offer" cannot be inserted into fragment "HR - Offer". Additionally, fragment "HR - Offer" cannot be inserted into fragment "Application Approved" if fragment "Application Approved" is inserted into fragment "HR - Offer".
After clicking the Fragment button, click Continue.
Select the appropriate fragment or template.
To filter the list of available fragments and templates, do one or more of the following:
-
Select the template group the template or fragment resides in from the Template Group drop-down list. The list displays only fragments and templates associated with the template group.
-
Type the name of the fragment or template into the Fragment field. The list is filtered as you type.
Note:If a selected fragment in an Advanced Condition Placeholder is deleted, the insert value is reset to Nothing.
Select the Match destination style check box if the text in the fragment should match the font, size, and color of the text that is used in the composed document. When the document is composed, the text in the fragment will inherit the characteristics of the character immediately before the Advanced Condition Placeholder. If there is not a character immediately before the Advanced Condition Placeholder, the text in the fragment will inherit the characteristics of the character immediately following the Advanced Condition Placeholder.
If the Advanced Condition Placeholder is inserted in a template's header, it will inherit the default document style. If the template's default style is not the style used in the rest of the template, select the Advanced Condition Placeholder and configure it to match the style used in the rest of the template.
If the Advanced Condition Placeholder is inserted at the beginning of the document, it will inherit the default document style. If the template's default style is not the style used in the rest of the template, select the Advanced Condition Placeholder and the space immediately following it and configure it to match the style used in the rest of the template.
