In the Body of the Activity

• Condition - Click on the right side of the field and then, from the menu, select Condition Builder to define the condition according to which either the activities in the Then or those in the optional Else branch are executed. Alternatively, you can select cells with conditional statements from the menu, or you can select Open in Advanced Editor to enter a VB expression
  In the Condition Builder:
  • Select a first value from the menu for the field on the left. You can select data from applications added to cards in your project (cells in Excel, fields in Outlook messages), use the output value of another activity that you previously saved for later, enter text or numbers.
  • Select an operator from the drop-down menu in the middle to evaluate the first value: greater than, greater than or equal, less than, less than or equal, equal to, not equal to, is empty, is not empty, is true, is false, starts with, ends with, contains.
  • If applicable, select a second value with which to compare the first value from the menu for the field on the right.
    For example, to add the condition "the value in the Excel cell B6 is greater than 10", for the first value you indicate the B6 cell in Excel, you select is greater than as the operator, and you enter the number 10 as the second value.
    To add multiple conditions, click Add in the Condition Builder and provide the same information for each additional statement. When you add multiple statements, a drop-down menu appears at the top of the window where you must select when the condition is met:
    All (AND) - The condition is met when all of the statements are true.
    Any (OR) - The condition is met when any of the statements is true.
