Nearly all of the Behaviors available for Decision Points and Photo Eyes have a Condition field. The Condition field allows you to customize the criteria that causes a Behavior to start. The Condition field is a boolean value in which true (non-zero) tells it to perform the Behavior, while false (zero) will cause the Behavior not to be executed.
The following image shows an example of the Condition field for the Send Item Behavior:
Click the drop-down menu on the right for suggestions on values to use. Possible expressions may be:
true- The behavior will always be executed.getitemtype(item) == 1: The behavior will be executed if the item's itemtype value is equal to 1.getlabel(item, "DivertLane") == 1: The behavior will be executed if the item's "DivertLane" label value is equal to 1.getlabel(item, "Category") == getlabel(current, "Category"): The behavior will be executed if the item's "Category" label value is equal to the Decision Point/Photo Eye's "Category" label.gettablenum("RoutingTable", 1, 1) == 1: Gets the value in row 1, column 1 of the global table named RoutingTable. If that value is 1, the behavior will be executed.
