Adding a conditional statement

To add a conditional statement:

  1. Access the Query Builder.
  2. Click the Conditions tab in the Query Builder window.
  3. Select a table from the upper left side of the Query Builder.
    Note: If required, click the plus sign to expand the list of tables.
  4. Select a field from the upper right side of the Query Builder. This field displays all fields that belong to the selected table. Double-click the field to add it to the grid at the bottom of the window.
    The Assign Condition window displays automatically. You can access this window at any time by double clicking a statement in the grid.
  5. Select an Operator. See Query Builder statement operators.
  6. Perform these tasks in the Value is field:
    • Specify a value or click Browse to select a value.

      If you selected In as an operator, the values must have quotation marks around each entry.

    • If you selected a date/time field, string, or integer field type and require to use a custom parameter, select Use Value as a Literal, click the Value is field, and click the arrow to select a condition parameter if one is available.
    Note: If you select a parameter with an X placeholder value, the Provide Template Value window is displayed. In the field, specify the numeric value to replace the placeholder.
  7. Select Case Sensitive Compare if you require the capitalization of the value used as part of the condition. By default this option is selected.

    If you are using MS SQL Server, the Case Sensitive Compare option is not applicable. All queries are case insensitive.

  8. Select Use Value as a Literal if required. See Use Value as a Literal
  9. Click OK.
  10. Repeat steps 1 to 9, and select the appropriate connector to add another condition statement. See Query Builder Statement Connectors
