Condition To Text Input

The Text Input Condition is a complex condition on account that it must anticipate a wide range of possible data entries. Applying multiple conditions can ensure that only the correct type of data is entered by end users in Document Editor.

The Text Input 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

Although the category is titled, Numeric, “equal to” and “not equal tomay also be used for text entries.

Text

  • “is empty”, meaning that the Text Input field has been left blank.
  • “is not empty”, meaning that the Text Input Field has been filled.
  • contains [text]
  • does not contain [text]
  • starts with [text]
  • does not start with [text]
  • ends with [text]
  • does not end with [text]

Generic (beta version)

  • “is visible”, meaning the condition will activate if a certain Text Input is made visible.
  • “is not visible”, meaning the condition will activate if a certain Text Input is not made visible.

The above settings are found in the second to last dropdown selection in the Conditions Phrase, and once selected, the template designer will be prompted to choose a Text Input Value.
