Calculating whether to add a detail

You can use an AddOnCondition formula to calculate whether to add a detail to a case, inspection, review, or hearing. For example, you could write a formula that requires a vehicle data case detail that records the VIN, make, and model of a vehicle involved in a case; a formula that requires a hazardous materials inspection detail for a case involving unsanitary or unsafe conditions; or a formula that requires a findings hearing detail. You specify an AddOnCondition formula for a detail when you define the detail.

AddOnCondition formulas use the oCase object (an instance of the Hansen.CDR.CodeEnforcement.iCase class) to set AddOnCondition to either True or False.

You can also use properties and methods of the detail objects in your formula. For example, you might want to specify the detail types that the formula applies to. To access detail properties, select the CaseDetail, HearingDetail, InspectionDetail, or ReviewDetail node under CodeEnforcementSignature in the Methods and Properties tree. You must also use the AssociatedRecordType node to indicate the type of record, such as AssociatedRecordType.InspectionDetail.

AddOnCondition = False
If oCase.Source.Code.ToUpper <> "CALL" Then
  AddOnCondition = True
End If

AddOnCondition = False
If oCase.CaseType.CaseType.ToUpper = "ZONING" Then
  AddOnCondition = True
End If

AddOnCondition = False
If oCase.Priority.Code.ToUpper = "HIGH" Then
  AddOnCondition = True
End If
