Invent Logic | Field Actions | Set Text | IV_Logic_019

In this section, we discuss the "set text" feature in Invent, which enables you to dynamically insert text into a field using variable logic. This feature allows you to dynamically change text based on conditions, linking to variables, predefined text libraries, or manually specified text values. This approach offers a versatile way to manage text dynamically as part of a larger if-statement logic.

Next one down is the ability to set text.

00:00:09:07 - 00:00:12:22
So this gives you the ability
to actually drive text

00:00:12:22 - 00:00:15:22
into one of your fields
using an if statement.

00:00:15:25 - 00:00:19:08
So in our example we're just simply

00:00:20:05 - 00:00:24:05
specifically changing between
two text strings based on our checkbox.

00:00:24:13 - 00:00:26:26
But again you can drive
it based on resources.

00:00:26:26 - 00:00:31:03
You can drive it based on, variables.

00:00:31:04 - 00:00:32:28
I would think
we'll have a look at the moment.

00:00:32:28 - 00:00:35:23
or you can manually specify

00:00:35:23 - 00:00:38:23
what the text is going to be.

00:00:38:23 - 00:00:41:25
Now again,
you can do this using Invent 101

00:00:42:00 - 00:00:45:15
just by, 
configuring a variable into a text box.

00:00:45:23 - 00:00:49:03
This is just giving you the capability
to do this as part of a larger,

00:00:49:03 - 00:00:52:03
if statement.

00:00:58:16 - 00:01:00:02
So choose your field.

00:01:00:02 - 00:01:01:16
Choose set text.

00:01:01:16 - 00:01:05:02
Then your options in here are linked
to a variable linked to a resource.

00:01:05:03 - 00:01:08:19
So remember that we can have
a resource set which is a text library.

00:01:09:05 - 00:01:12:13
So let's say for example you've got
a long list of potential addresses

00:01:12:13 - 00:01:13:00
or something.

00:01:13:00 - 00:01:16:00
You could choose a value
from within that address resource.

00:01:16:23 - 00:01:22:06
Or as we've done here you can specify
a specific static value to choose from.
