Inserting an Alternative 

Use

You want to present an alternative option in a form. You want one of two nodes (and its subnodes) to be processed. To do this, you use the alternative node. This node has two successors. The first successor node (TRUE) is processed only if the condition is met; otherwise, the second successor node (FALSE) is processed.

Procedure

       1.      Select an existing node in the context, under which you want to create an alternative node.

       2.      In the context menu of the node, choose Create ® Alternative.

To display the context menu of the node, click the secondary mouse button.

       3.      The system creates an alternative node under the selected node, with the two subnodes TRUE and FALSE. Enter the required data in the Properties window under the form context. Double-click the subnodes to enter their properties as well.

       4.      Under Alternative Conditions, specify the conditions for a node to be processed.

The window in which you define the alternative conditions is the same as the window used for defining the conditions for nodes.

Result

You have created an alternative node. In the context menu of the TRUE and FALSE nodes, choose Create ® … to create nodes for the alternative options. You can use Drag&Drop to assign any existing node as a subnode.
