Facility Control

I have a very nice (but not to optimized - yet) little panel going. I was wondering if it is possible to have logical operations going in an If/Else statement. Something like this:

IF
variable1 == "Y"  and variable2 == "N"
THEN
variable3 = abc
or
variable1 == "N" and variable2 == "N"
THEN
varible3 = def

ELSE
variable3 = ghi

Is something like this available in DashBoard

Thanks,

ogScript is based on javascript.   

So if you don't know how to do something, you can always google "javascript if statement", and get some information that way.   It does not cover all ogscript stuff, but for basics like conditionals and loops, it works. 

So for ifs, you can look here: https://www.w3schools.com/js/js_if_else.asp

For logical statements (ands and ors) you can look here: https://www.w3schools.com/js/js_comparisons.asp

Your if statement should look something like this:

var v1 = "yes"

var v2 = "yes"

if (v1 == "yes" && v2 == "yes") {
  v3 = "abc"
} else if (v1 == "no" && v2 == "no") {
  v3 = "def"
} else {
  v3 = "ghi"
}

Thanks for the pointer - was wondering about the && and || 
Onward into a logical nightmare!!

Ben - while the && for the 'and' operation seem to be right for javascript and some dashboard things - I'm getting this error. Any idea what this means?

You are getting this because "&" is a special character in XML and the grid files are stored as xml.

If you use the built-in editors for tasks, it converts the & into the "&" string that XML needs.   But if you type the "&" directly in the source, then it does not get replaced, and DashBoard will throw that error.

So you can do one of two things:

1. Use the built-in dashboard editor to edit your tasks.

2. Use "&amp;" instead of "&" in your tasks.    Also, if you use "<" or ">" anywhere in your scripts, you would need to use "&lt;" and "&gt" instead (which stands for lesser than, and greater than).

thank you so much -- the &amp; solved it !!
