Conditions
Conditions are an effective tool for converting texts identified by Retica into formats that business software can understand.
You can create different lists of conditions, each of which allows you to specify the texts to be replaced and those with which they will be replaced.
Let’s take a closer look at how they work.
Create a list of conditions
To get started, it is essential to go to the “Extensions” section, press the “Add Extension” button, and then add the “Conditions” extension to your active extensions:
Once added, it will be visible among the active extensions.
To begin the configuration, press the “Options” button of the extension and select “About”.
Once inside the section dedicated to conditions, click on “Add list” to create the first list of conditions.
After entering the name of the list and pressing “Save”, you will have created a list of conditions. This list acts as a container for the texts that you want to automatically replace in the document. The next step will then be to enter these values.
Once the list has been created, simply click on the “Options” button and then select “Information” to access the list and start defining the conditions.
To proceed, simply press on “Add condition”. This action will open a window where you can enter the text to be replaced (“Text to replace”) and the text with which it will be replaced (“Replacement text”).
Once you have entered both texts and pressed the “Save” button, the new condition will be added to the list. Repeat this operation for all the texts you want to automatically replace in the output file.
Apply the list of conditions to a document
- Once you have made your selection, the replacement text will automatically be displayed.
- Press the “Save” button and repeat this process for other texts to which you want to apply conditions.
