Join Cris Ippolite for an in-depth discussion in this video Adding the If script step to a script, part of FileMaker Pro Essential Training (2019).
- [Instructor] So let's say you've determined that you want … to add some conditional criteria to your scripts. … Specifically, in our case, we've got two different letters, … a welcome letter and an inactive letter. … And we want to send a welcome letter … to any customer that has a status of Pending … and we want to send a inactive letter … to any customer that has the status of Inactive. … You see that we can determine that … on a record-by-record basis. … So if I go into my Print Welcome Letter script, … I can duplicate it to create another one. … We'll call this the Print Customer Letter Conditional. … I'll go ahead and save that for right now. … And first, we'll get rid of our dialog. … And now, we have to determine … where we're going to insert the condition. … So the only thing that's really going to be affected … by the condition is which layout we go to. … So I've isolated script step number one, … which is Go to Layout. … I'm going to duplicate that by hitting Command-D … on my keyboard, or Control-D if you're on Windows. …
