# Setting conditions in Workflows

When you build a Workflow, there are a number of places where you can set conditions. You can combine multiple condition statements using *And / Or* logical operators. You can also create more complex conditions by including some condition statements in parentheses. This article explains how to set conditions from the relevant screens in the [Form designer](/v1/docs/create-forms), the [HTML designer](/v1/docs/design-dynamic-documents), or the [Workflow designer](/v1/docs/design-workflows).

**To set a condition:**

Enter the condition statement by selecting an Attribute, a comparison operator (for example, *Contains*) and the value you want to compare it against.

For example, you can set a condition that the attribute *state_address* should contain the value *California.*

**To combine multiple condition statements with using And / Or logical operators:**

Click the + sign next to the existing condition statement and enter the new condition statement. Select either **And** or **Or** as the logical operator.

In the above example, the condition applies to anyone who either lives in California or is 18 years old or more.

**To include multiple condition statements in parentheses:**

Select the relevant condition statements and click the parenthesis button.

In the above example, the condition applies to anyone who either lives in California or is 18 years old or more *and also* possesses a drivers license document that was authenticated by Lightico.

A pink bar appears next to the condition statements to indicate that they are in parentheses. To remove the parentheses click the pink bar again.

## Setting a condition based on team

One option when creating a condition in a Workflow, is to base the condition on the team that is associated with the session. When a session is started, it is either associated with the agent's team by default or with a team selected by the agent or defined in the API. Using this type of condition, you can, for example, present a different document to sign depending on the associated team.

> This feature is supported for Workflow conditional hubs and switches.

**To set a Workflow condition based on team:**

1. In the first dropdown, Select **Team**.
2. In the second, **equal to** or **not equal to**.
3. In the last dropdown, select the required team.

## Comparing Attribute to Attribute

**To set a condition that compares one text Attribute to another:**

1. Select an Attribute in the first dropdown.
2. In the last dropdown, select the Attribute icon and enter an Attribute.

## Condition based on date

You can create a condition that compares a date Attribute to one of the following:

- custom date
- system value date

For example, you can compare the expiration date on a photo ID with the **current_date** system value as follows:

**id_expiration** (Attribute) > is **less than** > **current date** (system value) ![](https://cdn.document360.io/473bb8c5-ff1b-4930-8109-2321ac6ab967/Images/Documentation/image(403).png)

**To define a condition based on date:**

1. For the first part of the condition statement, select a date Attribute.
2. For the last part of the statement select one of the following:
  - **Custom date** - select a date in the date picker
  - **System value** - select a date system value

> Currently, the following **system value** is supported:
> 
> - current date (today)

A series of customer interactions that must be completed in a certain order. Workflows are configured by a business configurator (BC) and added to the session by an agent or API.

An identifying label that you bind to data in a session that enables you to organize and make use of the data during the session.

Each user is associated with a team. A team defines unique settings that affect how a Collaboration Room session functions and what cases are available in Case Manager.

A user that communicates with end-customers to complete tasks in a Collaboration Room session or a Case Manager case.

Values that the Lightico system either generates or regularly records from session, case, or analysis data. For a full list of available system values, see [System values](/v1/docs/system-values).
