Boolean Expressions
Boolean values can also be set using an expression of which the result is true or false. This is
done using operators and comparisons.
Example: record.fields["isCanadian"] = (extract("Country") == "CA");
For more information on JavaScript comparison and logical operators, please see
w3schools.com or developer.mozilla.org.
String Data Type
Strings contain textual data. Strings do not have any specific meaning, which is to say that their
contents are never interpreted in any way.
Defining String Values
l
Pre-Processor: Specify the "Type" as "String" and set a default value as any text
between quotes, such as "This is my text";
l
Extraction: Specify the "Type" as "String". The field value will be extracted and treated
as a string.
l
JavaScript Expression: Set the desired value to any string between quotes.
Example: record.fields["countryOfOrigin"] = "Canada";
Building String Values
Strings values can be made up of more than just a series of characters between quotes. Here
are a few tips and tricks to build strings:
l Both single and double quotes can be used to surround strings and they will act in
precisely the same manner. So, "this is a string" and 'this is a string' mean the same
thing. However, it's useful to have both in order to remove the need for escaping
characters. For instance, "I'm fine!" works, but 'I'm fine!' does not since only 'I' is
properly interpreted. 'I\'m fine!' works (escaping the ' with a \).
