Condition To Months-in-date

The Month-In-Date Condition can ensure that only the correct date information is entered by end users using Document Editor. A wide range of settings allows it to set conditions for dates in formats that are purely numerical, or those that include text.

The Month-In-Date Condition settings are as follows:

Numeric

  • “=” – equal to
  • “!= ” – not equal to
  • “>” – greater than
  • “≥” – greater than or equal to
  • “<” – less than
  • “≤” – less than or equal to

Text

  • “is empty”, meaning that the Month-In-Date field has been left blank.
  • “is not empty”, meaning that the Month-In-Date field has been filled in.

Generic (beta version)

  • “is visible”, meaning the condition will activate if a certain Month-In-Date is made visible.
  • “is not visible”, meaning the condition will activate if a certain Month-In-Date is not made visible.

All of the above settings are the second to last dropdown selection in the Conditions Phrase, and once selected, the template designer will be prompted to choose a Month-In-Date Value.
