Conditions
ADD

Displays settings which you can use to make the step conditional. You can add more than one condition.

FIELD TYPE

FIELD

Specifies the specific field that you want to use for comparison.

If you select a coding field, the coding field is checked on all rows to see if the conditions of the trigger are met.

OPERATION

Determines how the value of the field is evaluated.

  • Contains - The condition is true if the any part of the field value matches the text you specify. For example, if you specify "me", the condition is true for "ACME Inc" and "Multimedia Co." but not for "Example Corp."
  • Begins with - The condition is true if the field value begins with the text you specify. For example, if you specify "ac" the condition is true for "ACME Inc" but it is not true for "First AC Corp."
  • Equals - The condition is true if the field value matches the value you specify.
  • Not equals - The condition is true if the field value does not match the value you specify.
  • None equals - The condition is true if none of the field values in the same column match the value you specify.
  • Greater than - The condition is true if the field value is greater than the value you specify.
  • Less than - The condition is true if the field value is less than the value you specify.
  • In list - Displays a link that you can click to display a dialog which you can use to specify a list of items. When a field is evaluated using this operation, it is considered true if the field value appears in the list.

    This operation is only available if the field type is set to Supplier, Buyer, Coding field or Text field.

  • Not in list - Displays a link that you can click to display a dialog which you can use to specify a list of items. When a field is evaluated using this operation, it is considered true if the field value does not appear in the list.

    This operation is only available if the field type is set to Supplier, Buyer, Coding field or Text field.

Specifies the value which determines if the condition is true. Alternatively, if you choose Supplier, Buyer, Coding field or Text field in the Type setting, and select In list or Not in list as the Operation, a link is displayed that you can click to specify a list of items.
