Web Page View fields can use a unique SmartSimple logic interpreter. Web page logic gives you the ability to display certain content or perform certain actions only when specified conditions are met. SmartSimple logic follows the following template:

<!--@sslogic(CONDITION)-->
   The content to be displayed when condition is true.
   This can be more than one line.
<!--@end-->

• The content to be displayed (the middle line) can either be in plaintext or in HTML.
• Be sure there are single quotes around the variable and value.
• SSlogic does not support nested logic statements.

Example:

• The following code sample will display a Christmas tree image if and only if it is currently December:

<!--@sslogic(month(now())=12)-->
   <img src='images/xmasstree.jpg'>
<!--@end-->

Else Logic:

• Often, you will want to display one of two texts--one text in the case that a condition is met and another in the case that the condition is not met. This is achieved through the use of an "else" operator.
• The following sample code will display one message if a user is male and another if the user is female:

<!--@sslogic('@sex@'='M')-->
  You are a guy.
<!--@else-->
   You are a girl.
<!--@end-->

The following will display 2 check boxes. If the gender is male the first check box (Male) will be ticked. If the gender is female the second check box will be ticked:

<!--@sslogic('@parent.owner.clientgender@'='Male')-->
   <input type="checkbox" checked> Male
   <input type="checkbox"> Female
<!--@else-->
   <input type="checkbox"> Male
   <input type="checkbox" checked> Female
<!--@end-->

You can use multiple sslogic statements if there are more than just 2 options:

<!--@sslogic('@possibility@'='Yes')-->
  This will happen for certain.
<!--@end-->

<!--@sslogic('@possibility@'='No')-->
  This is not happening.
<!--@end-->

<!--@sslogic('@possibility@'='Maybe')-->
  This may or may not happen.
<!--@end-->

You can include more than one condition:

<!--@sslogic('@year@'='2008' AND  ('@month@'='1' OR '@month@'='2')-->
   This is only displayed if the year is 2008 and the month is either Jan or Feb.
<!--@end-->

<!--@sslogic(‘@type@’=’contact’) -->
       <!--@ssattach(after;/files/1234/123/myfilefooter.pdf )-->
<!--@else-->
     <!-- @ssattach(after;/files/1234/123/myotherfilefooter.pdf )-->
<!--@end-->
