If you wish to hide/show sections of your document based on certain conditions then you can surround that text with conditional merge fields (IF, ELSEIF, ELSE)

...

The * denotes that we're doing something special while the IF starts the conditional statement

[[*IF

The standard merge fields from your merge field list should be included in braces (otherwise known as "curly brackets")

{FirstName|pt=Client|rn=*}

Any static values should be included in quotes and there should be an operator in front of that static value

...

Finally, you will need to include a conditional field stop

 [[*ENDIF*]] 

You can add any number of ELSEIF options for additional conditions and ELSE section as a catch-all if all prior IF/ELSEIF conditional are false

...

Code Block
The Client's Nickname is: [[*IF {FirstName|pt=Client} == "James" *]] Jim [[*ELSEIF {FirstName|pt=Client} == "Robert" *]] Bob [[*ELSE*]] [[FirstName|pt=Client]] [[*ENDIF*]]

Boolean Data Types

If your custom data field is a boolean (checkbox) then test against the values "true" and "false". 

Example:

Code Block
[[*IF {is_approved} == "true" *]]Yes[[*ELSE*]]No[[*ENDIF*]]


Conditions Dependent on Record Number
