Lotus Domino Designer 8 Help - Examples: @IsAvailable

FORMULA LANGUAGE

Examples: @IsAvailable
1. This formula returns the value of the Dept field if it exists in the document, otherwise it returns Consultant.

@If(@IsAvailable(Dept);Dept;"Consultant")

2. This formula returns the value of the field named Topic if it exists in the document, otherwise it returns the value contained in the field named Subject.

@If(@IsAvailable(Topic);Topic;Subject)

3. This formula, when added to a hotspot button, checks for the existence of the Priority field in a form, then sets its value if found or creates a new Priority field and sets its value, if not found.

@If(@IsAvailable(Priority);@SetField("Priority";"High");FIELD Priority := "High")

Note If you create the field using this formula, it is not visible on the form, but you can get its value using the @GetField function. Be sure you use the correct spelling and capitalization when checking for the field in the document.
