AND/OR/ELSE Statements
When working with Rule based variables, you can expand the variable argument by adding
conditions to a single statement, and/or have multiple statements to reflect different results.
Note that each new condition can use the same variable trigger or a different variable trigger.
AND/OR statements will add a condition to the selected statement. Making the statement
dependent on two or more conditions.
ELSE adds an alternative statement to the overall variable, and there is always an exception
ELSE statement at the end of the argument so that any exceptions are handled with a preflight
error or with a default value.
3. Assign the rule-based variable to a preflight check. To use the Rule Based variable assign it to
a preflight check. In this example, it is assigned to the Images, Resolution check in two places.
One for the Resolution check and again as a value for a Fix to resample the image to the correct
resolution if required.
Applying a Smart Preflight Variable
With your variables defined, applying them to your preflight profiles is simple. This section will
describe how you can apply variables most checks within a Preflight profile.
Applying a variable to a preflight check
Edit your Preflight profile and select a check that will use a Smart Preflight variable. From the
Actions menu for that check, click on it and select Enable Variable Names.
Text boxes and check boxes that can have a variable applied will now show the variable button
next to it.
To apply the variable check, click the variable button next to the preflight check. The Select a
Variable dialog box will be displayed.
First, ensure you are working with the correct Variable Set, if necessary you should select and
load the one you want to use.
