An edit check is essentially an If then logic statement. That is, if a condition (s) is met, then perform an action is the essence of the statement.
The If condition in Architect is called a Check Step. The then action is called a Check Action.
Check Steps and Check Actions are tied to data points (fields) and constants and they must be specified before functions and logic operators (AND, OR, NOT). Functions apply to data points or constants directly preceding them. The combination of data points, constants, and functions is a condition. Logic operators are applied to the conditions directly preceding them.
Example 1:
If a field for gender is submitted blank, then display a message Missing Data.
In Architect, this is written as:
If data point (field) = gender
constant = none
function = empty
then action is display message Missing data.
Example 2:
If female is submitted for field gender, then add the pregnancy form.
In Architect, this is written as:
If data point (field) = gender
constant = female
function = is equal to
then action is add Pregnancy form.
Edit Checks can be added to a particular form or all forms.
