When using Advanced Logic or Visibility Condition for standard fields, you may wish to restrict based on the Level 1 Template or Level 2 Type of the associated record.
The syntax of the conditional statements refers to the typeid, which is the system's numerical value associated with each Template or Type.
Level 1 Template
In order to determine the typeid of a Level 1 template:
- Go to the list of Templates on the Settings page.
- Right-click on the name of the relevant template in the left-hand pane and select Properties
- Within the address displayed it will list the numerical typeid for that Template:
Level 2 Type
In order to determine the typeid of a Level 2 type:
- Go to the list of Types on the Settings page.
- Right-click on the name of the relevant template in the left-hand pane and select Properties
- Within the address displayed it will list the numerical typeid for that Type.
Important: Within the address it will be called statusid rather than typeid. You should still use typeid when referring to it for Advanced Logic, Visibility Conditions or scripts.
