The **Conditional Logic & Scoring **feature in VLX allows you to apply logic-based actions, such as scoring, flagging, and color-coding, based on responses within a specific range. This guide will walk you through setting up conditional logic for number fields in your templates.
**Step 1\: Add a Number Field to Your Template**
1\. Navigate to the** Templates **section in VLX.
2\. Click on **Create Template** to start a new template or select an existing one to edit.
3\. Drag and drop a **Number** field into your template. This will be the field where you’ll set up conditional logic.
**Step 2\: Access the Logic Settings**
1\. Select the **Number** field to open the **Number Properties** panel.
2\. Go to the **Logic** tab.
3\. Click on **Add Logic** to begin setting up conditional actions.
**Step 3\: Define Your Conditional Logic (If-Then Rules)**
1\. In the logic setup, define your condition using the **If-Then** format:
• **If \[Field Name] is \[Condition]** (e.g., “If Number is less than 50”).
2\. Choose from various conditions, such as:
**• equal to**
** • not equal to**
** • less than**
** • less than or equal to**
** • greater than**
** • greater than or equal to**
**Step 4\: Set Actions Based on Conditions**
1\. After defining the condition, select an action to apply when the condition is met:
• **Add Score**: Assign a score based on the response (e.g., add +1 point).
• **Flag Response**: Flag the response if it meets certain criteria.
• **Set Color**: Choose a color to indicate the response’s status (e.g., green for acceptable range).
2\. Configure each action as needed to match your inspection criteria.
**Step 5\: Publish and Test Your Template**
1\. **Publish** the template after configuring all logic conditions.
2\. Run a test inspection to ensure that the logic works as expected and that scores, flags, and colors apply correctly.
**Example\: Temperature Check Using Conditional Logic**
For instance, you might set up a temperature check as follows:
• **If Temperature \[is] between 65 and 75°F:**
• Action: Add +1 point, Set Color to Green.
• **If Temperature \[is not] in between 65 and 75°F:**
• Action: Flag Response, Set Color to Red.
This setup provides inspectors with immediate feedback based on the predefined criteria, making it easy to spot acceptable and critical responses during inspections.
