Multiple Conditions in Smartforms

Former Member — Tue, 03 Jan 2006 20:19:15 GMT

If the following conditions were inserted in Smartforms on the same conditions tab (with an implied AND between the first two lines) like such:

COND1 = A

COND2 = B

COND3 = C

Which of these would it act like

( COND1 = A and COND2 = B ) or COND3 = C

COND1 = A and ( COND2 = B or COND3 = C )

Hi,

In the Condition tab,

In the Field Name give the COND1 and in the Comparision value give the value A, then same for the COND2 after this Press <b>Inser OR</b> button (2nd button from the right) then write the COND3 and the Comparision value..

Hope this will work

I understand how to insert the conditions.

My question is regarding the actions of entering these conditions. Would it interpret the AND first or the OR first?

Hi,

That is depend on inserting the OR condition, if you insert the OR after the first COND1 COND2 then it may act as ( COND1 = A and COND2 = B ) or COND3 = C

Hi Marie,

It depends on how you use them within the brackets.Any thing within one bracket can be treated as one condition.

So if the conditions are entered as:

COND1

COND2

COND3

then the OR will get executed first as in

(COND1 or COND2) and COND3

Is that correct?

There are no brackets in Smartforms conditions tab

You enter them laterally like so

COND1

COND2

COND3

with the option of adding "OR" in between. If no ORs are added there is an implied "AND".

Yes perfect.

Ok...so based on your answer the following logic would be impossible to enter in a conditions tab in Smartforms

(A and B) or (C and D)

If I entered

CONDA

CONDB

CONDC

CONDD

then it would act like (((CONDA and CONDB) or CONDC) and CONDD)
