Combining various Else If/ If scriptsteps with cutom dialogs and get functions

[sjschroeter]

Hello, I am working on a db for after sales service and now I have to make it more user friendly.. so I worked out my process of status' and wanted to always show a custom dialog when there is a decision to make.. the main problem is that I have difficulties combining

Get(LastMessageChoice) with a lookup of my field ( so I can prefilter and only show the apropriate custom dialog.. )

Hopefully the description makes sense to you and you have a hint for me. Thanks

After you have shown a custom dialogue you can use something like the following to set your direction

If [Get(Lastmessagechoice)=1 and yourstatusfield = "live" ]

Perform Script ["whatever"]

Else If [Get(Lastmessagechoice)=1 and yourstatusfield = "dead"]

Perform Script ["another direction"]

Else If [Get(Lastmessagechoice)=2 and yourstatusfield = "live"]

Perform Script ["a 3rd direction"]

Else If [Get(Lastmessagechoice)=2 and yourstatusfield = "dead"]

Perform Script ["a 4th direction"]

Else

Perform Script ["do this if none of the above apply"]

End If

The above gives you 4 options and a default but it can be extended to cover as many options as you might have. It is also just a very basic script to demonstrate the idea of options after a custom dialogue which I think is what you were looking for
