Boolean

Booleans are a simple true/false data type often used in conditions and comparisons.

Defining Boolean values

• Preprocessor:

  • In the Step properties pane, under Properties, add or select a field.

  • Specify the Type as Boolean and set a default value of either

    true

    or

    false

    , followed by a semicolon.

• Extraction:

  • In the Data Model, select a field.

  • On the Step properties pane, under Field Definition set the Type to Boolean.

  The field value must be

  true

  or

  false

  .

• JavaScript Expression: Set the desired value to either

  true

  or

  false

  . Example:

  record.fields["isCanadian"] = true;

Boolean expressions

Boolean values can be set using an expression of which the result is true or false. This is done using operators and comparisons.

Example: record.fields["isCanadian"] = (extract("Country") == "CA");
