Calculating whether to add a condition

You can use an AddOnCondition formula to calculate whether a condition is added to an application. For example, you could write a formula that requires both a declared value and square footage for any work involving an educational institution. You specify an AddOnCondition formula when you define a condition type.

AddOnCondition formulas use the oBuildingApp object (an instance of the Hansen.CDR.Building.iBuildingApplication class) to set AddOnCondition to either True or False.

You can also use properties and methods of the Condition object in your formula. For example, you might want to specify the condition types that the formula applies to. To access condition properties, select the Condition node under BuildingSignature in the Methods and Properties tree. You must also use the AssociatedRecordType node to indicate the type of record (AssociatedRecordType.Condition).

Examples

This formula adds a condition if the declared value recorded in the application is greater than $250,000:


AddOnCondition = False
If (oBldgApp.DeclaredValuation > 250000) Then
  AddOnCondition = True
End If

This formula adds a condition if the application is for an educational institute:


AddOnCondition = False
If (oBldgApp.OccupancyType.Code.ToUpper = "EDUCATIONAL") Then
  AddOnCondition = True
End If

This formula adds a condition if the application is for a new construction:


AddOnCondition = False
If (oBldgApp.WorkType.Code.ToUpper = "NEW") Then
  AddOnCondition = True
End if
