Multiple Conditional Expressions in an Exclusive Gateway

Forms

I am trying to have multiple conditional expressions in one gateway. I.e. There are a variety of questions on a form that if the user states Yes (to any) I want it to take one path of two. The form works fine when I only have 1 conditional expression but when I add more by selecting "or", finding the form field then = No, then insert the form is terminated at the Exclusive Gateway. Any ideas?

Kimberly,

It should as long as the variables are correct and there is no 'and' or 'or' left dangling at the end. For instance, I have a route I want the process to follow when either of 3 folder options are checked (NLCS, Gemini, or Applied)...the text I end up with in the gateway conditions is:

/dataset/Folder/NLCS="checked" or /dataset/Folder2/Gemini="checked" or /dataset/Folder3/Applied="checked"

Needless to say, you would have to specify a second option or more or the condition won't evaluate.

If none of the conditions are satisfied in a gateway to continue the workflow, it will terminate, you can check the Event Viewer under Laserfiche Forms to get more detail on the Error event that terminated the workflow. Sometimes I find it easier to have a hidden validation field on the form that does the test and then only test for the 1 condition in the gateway if there are many to test for, as a cleaner way through this.

Figured out it seemed to be a simple formatting situation in the expression. Where we are not hitting "enter" after each condition. Thank you!
