Hi Bentley and the Forum,
I would like to run some eQL for a CASE statement so that when 2 properties are used, rather than the usual one.
I would like to use Files.Copies.DocumentCopy.InDefaultVisibleScope and Approval Status and set a string value for where the different when clauses are true.
CASE Files.Copies.DocumentCopy.InDefaultVisibleScope WHEN Files.Copies.DocumentCopy.InDefaultVisibleScope='Y' AND ApprovalStatus= 'A' THEN 'Green' WHEN Files.Copies.DocumentCopy.InDefaultVisibleScope='Y' AND WHEN ApprovalStatus= 'N' THEN 'Amber' ELSE 'Red' END as Ragstatus
Please could you assist with the code? Is this possible in eQL?
Many thanks,
Julie
This can be accomplished with nested CASE statements. First check the default visible scope condition. If 'Y' then add another case statement to examine the approval status to set 'Green' or 'Amber'. If the indefaultvisiblescope is not 'Y' the Ragstatus is always 'Red', regardless of the approval status (if I followed your logic correctly).
CASE Files.Copies.DocumentCopy.InDefaultVisibleScope WHEN 'Y' THEN CASE ApprovalStatus WHEN 'A' THEN 'Green' WHEN 'N' THEN 'Amber' ELSE 'If you need to consider status = P' END ELSE 'Red' END Ragstatus
If you are differentiating between status 'N' and 'P', add an "ELSE" clause to the inner CASE statement. Similarly, you can add another case statement within the outer ELSE clause if you need to check other conditions before assigning red or amber.
