Example

If you want to determine whether an employee name is not specified by a user while providing the employee related details (using a manual activity). Using the Multiple Condition AgilePart, specify the Data Binding property (such as empName of String data type) and then set the value as <NULL> to set up the following conditions:

• empName = <NULL> - When the employee name is not specified, this condition is routed to the associated activity (may go back in the process to prompt for entering the employee name).
• Else - When the employee name is specified, this condition is routed to the associated activity (moves forward in the process).
