Condition To Months-in-date
The Month-In-Date Condition can ensure that only the correct date information is entered by end users using Document Editor. A wide range of settings allows it to set conditions for dates in formats that are purely numerical, or those that include text.
The Month-In-Date Condition settings are as follows:
Numeric
- “=” – equal to
- “!= ” – not equal to
- “>” – greater than
- “≥” – greater than or equal to
- “<” – less than
- “≤” – less than or equal to
Text
- “is empty”, meaning that the Month-In-Date field has been left blank.
- “is not empty”, meaning that the Month-In-Date field has been filled in.
Generic (beta version)
- “is visible”, meaning the condition will activate if a certain Month-In-Date is made visible.
- “is not visible”, meaning the condition will activate if a certain Month-In-Date is not made visible.
All of the above settings are the second to last dropdown selection in the Conditions Phrase, and once selected, the template designer will be prompted to choose a Month-In-Date Value.

9. If a numeric value has been chosen in the previous step, choose the month that will determine when the selected content will be added (or not added depending on your fourth dropdown selection)
