Description
Iterate over a collection using the GhostFill Document Logic tasks.
Explanation
The GhostFill Document Logic tasks allow you to iterate over a collection and access the data in your collection from FillPoints.
Click here to view a step-by-step example.
Assume you have a main Dialog called "Mortgage", and off Mortgage you have a sub-Dialog collection called "Party". Assume that inside Party there are two fields called "Name" and "IDNumber".
Method 1 using the ForEachBlock task:
%[ForEachBlock("x",Mortgage.Party)]
The value of Name is: %[x.Name]
The value of ID Number is: %[x.IDNumber]
%[EndBlock()]
Method 2 using the RepeatBlockWhile task:
%[i=1]%[RepeatBlockWhile(i<=Mortgage.Party.Count)]
The value of Field1 is: %[Mortgage.Party[i].Field1]
The value of Field2 is: %[Mortgage.Party[i].Field2]
%[i=i+1]%[EndBlock()]
