Defines an IF...THEN...ELSE... conditional step based on a JavaScript condition.

The jIfThenElse step is one of the Convertigo Sequencer conditional steps. This step is based on a JavaScript condition and contains two child steps (Then and Else) which are executed depending on the condition fulfillment:

• Then step and child steps are executed when the condition is verified,
• Else step and child steps are executed when the condition is not verified.

The condition, defined in the Condition property, is a JavaScript expression that is evaluated during the sequence execution as true or false.
Note: In Convertigo Studio, when an jIfThenElse step is created in a sequence, it can be easily replaced by an jIf, using the right-click menu on the step and choosing the option Change to > jIf. The Condition property remains the same and the steps present in the sub-steps are:

• steps present in the Then step are moved to the jIf,
• steps present in the Else step are deleted.

Property Type Category Description
Comment String standard Describes the object comment to include in the documentation report.
This property generally contains an explanation about the object.
Condition JS expression standard Defines the block condition expression.
This property is a JavaScript expression that will be evaluated as condition (true or false) in order to decide whether to execute or not the child steps.
JavaScript variables and code are supported in this property.
Is active boolean standard Defines whether the step is active.
Output boolean expert Defines whether the XML generated by this step should be appended to the resulting XML.
Set this property to true to add the step’s resulting XML to the sequence’s output XML (default value for steps generating XML). Set this property to false to prevent the steps’s XML result to appear in the sequence’s output XML.
Setting this property to false does not prevent the step’s generated XML from being used as a source by other steps.
