Add If conditions - Automate_Studio - 20.3

Add a condition

1. On the Map tab, select the fields you want to apply the condition to.
2. Click Create Condition from.

   If Create Condition from is grayed out, click the Expert View tab.

3. In the If Condition box, choose the operand.
   Note:

   If you choose First Transaction or Not First Transaction, click OK or click Add New Group to add more conditions.

   If your script was recorded in GUI Scripting mode, you will also see the Index Field option.

4. Based on the operand that you chose, do one of the following:
   • Click the SAP field.
   • Click the column letter or cell number, and then click Go.
5. Choose an operator, such as Greater Than.
   Note:

   The Between operator includes both of the specified values as well as the values between them.

6. Do one of the following:
   • Type the value for the condition.
     Note:

     If the value contains decimal places or long text, be sure your data read preferences are set to As stored. Click the File tab, click Options, click Data, and then click As stored.

   • Check the Compare with Column box, choose the column letter or cell number that contains the value you want Transaction to compare, and then click Go.

     For example, you can select the column that contains Gross Weight, select the Is Greater Than operator, check the Compare with Column box, and select the column that contains Net Weight.

7. To add another condition, click the plus sign.
8. To add a second level to the condition, click Add New Group (for example, IF ((A=1 & B=2) OR IF First Transaction), Then repeat steps 3-6.

If condition operands

First Transaction Use this operand when a screen or action is only required in the first record. This condition will not be applied to the second record and any subsequent records.

Not First Transaction Use this operand when a screen or action is only required on the second record and any subsequent records. This condition will not be applied to the first record.

Column Use this operand to specify whether a screen, field, or action should occur based on static values or values in your data file.

If you are using cell-based mapping, the operand is Cell.

SAP Field Use this operand when you need to validate data that is available in SAP as opposed to your data file. This condition will verify whether a specific field contains the correct value before executing what is in the condition.

Index Field

The Index Field operand is available only for scripts that were recorded in GUI Scripting mode. Use Index Field with regular loops (NOT indexed loops) to search and update multiple rows based on one field’s value.

With Index Field, you can find a row based on a value in a given column.

1. First, map only the fields that need to be updated.
2. In the If Condition box, choose Index Field.
3. If you want to update multiple rows based on the search field, check the Find All box.
4. Select the SAP field that you want to search for. This field should not be mapped.
5. Choose an operator.
6. Enter the value that you are searching for or click Compare with Column and select the column.

If conditions in web services

You can use If conditions to create custom non-SAP fields and then use those fields to manage the forms.

To create a condition that is based on an SAP field, change the operand to SAP Field.

Change the condition

Click the condition statement to reopen the Condition box, and then make the changes that you want. You can edit the condition of an empty If block or Loop block.

Cut, copy, and paste the If condition

You can cut and copy a nested If-else condition block and paste it anywhere in the Mapper.

Use the replace, insert before, and preserve options

You may use the replace, insert before, and preserve options for column mapping in an If condition.

Delete the condition

1. In the Mapper, click the row that contains the condition statement to select the row.
2. Right-click the row, and then click Delete.
