Conditional assignment (dependent on personal data) is a somewhat more complicated way to use ancillary color schemes. When drawing the treeview, each person box is checked to see if its personal data fulfills predetermined conditions. If so, the corresponding ancillary color scheme is assigned.

Even users who have no experience with logical functions can use this method, as it has been programmed using simple language. The objects in the dialog are named and organized so that you can read and set the conditions almost as if it were a normal sentence.

Example for a complete condition sentence from the dialog: Use ancillary color scheme 1, if [condition 1] the personal data 'Given name(s)' equals 'John' and [condition 2] the personal data 'Place of residence' contains 'Boston'.

The complete formulation and structure of this condition sentence is as follows:

Ancillary color scheme 1 is to be used if

[condition 1] the personal data 'Given name(s)' equals the word 'John'

and

[condition 2] the personal data 'Place of residence' contains the word 'Boston'.

In each area for Condition 1/2, entries can be made.

The personal data used for comparison (such as 'Given name(s)') can be selected from the dropdown list at the top right.

The comparison between the personal data and the word entered can be done in one of four ways: equals, does not equal, contains and does not contain. This selection is made in the dropdown list at the lower left.

The word used for comparison (such as 'John') can be entered at the text entry field at the lower right.

The logical function between condition 1 and condition 2 can be 'and', 'or' or 'exclusive or'. The logical function 'exclusive or' is only fulfilled if either condition 1 alone or condition 2 alone is fulfilled. The logical function can be selected with one of the radio buttons between the areas Condition 1 and Condition 2.

The following table shows the various logical functions and their results:

Condition 2 can also be left blank. In this case, select the option No additional condition. The result is then solely based on whether condition 1 is fulfilled.
