Method Community

Greetings.

I need to create an Action to occur based on the value selected in a dropdown field.  If the selection is "Closed", then I need the Action to do one thing and if the selection is "Won", I need it to do something else.

Bottom line:  How can I nest Conditional Statements together?  (Like an "if, then, else" statement).

Is there an example in Method CRM to which I can refer?

Many thanks,

Carol

It's super easy.  But no If...Then..Elseif....Else.....it's just If...Then.

Conditional Start: If Month equals April then

    Conditional Start: If Today equals Monday Then

         Show Message "Sorry, to hear you're having a bad day"

    Conditional End

    Conditional Start: If Today is not equal to Monday Then

         Show Message "Hope you're having a great day. At least it isn't Monday.!"

    Conditional End

Conditional End

Thank you!

What if you have more than one condition, and no conditional operators in Method...

An issue I had recently
if condition1...do something1.
if condition1 and condition2...do something2.
if condition1 and condition3...do something3.
if condition1 and condition2 and condition3...do something4.

So I nested the If statements, and played around until I got the behaviors I needed.
Is there a better solution for a case like this - for multiple conditions?
I hope I have explained clearly enough.
Thanks,
Garrett

Garrett,

Great question!  I'm looking forward to the answer.  

I learned a lot from examining the Actions on the "Save" button in CRM New Opportunities screen.  But it didn't have anything like your multiple conditions...

I wish there was some way to print a report showing all the Actions on a button (and setup detail for them.)  I've resorted to screen prints, modifying in Paint and copying to Word to create documentation of something I've done but it is hardly a satisfactory solution.  Also, ALT-PRTSC does not grab just the active window in Method like it usually does in other products; it grabs the entire screen - hence the necessity for the clean-up task in Paint.

Carol - right click on the designer screen and choose Show Summary.

Happy friday.

Paul,

I tried that but it isn't enough information.  I want it ALL!  Isn't that just like an CPA?  "Show us ALL your stuff..."

Carol

Ahh - gotcha.  Okay.....I know what you want.  I also know what we are working on.....and you've going to have to hold tight for a while unfortuantely.  But something is coming later this year that will blow off the roof in this regard and much more....

Paul

I eagerly look forward to it.

BTW, I am a HUGE Method fan already and I've only been working with it since early April.  Love it, Love it!!!!

Can you recommend a good book on VB that will ramp me up on the scripting?

Thanks.

Carol
