This topic contains instructions for Conga CLM (Contracts for Salesforce) users. 

Set Segment feature allows you to set conditions and style for the highlighted text in your agreement template. The condition for the segment's visibility can be set from the expression builder. The segment can consist of the highlighted text, a clause, a group of text across clauses, or text with fields. Use this feature to create a template that can show or hide different segments of text in the generated agreement based on the conditions set by you. The expression builder is fully integrated with the objects and fields in your Salesforce org.

To make a Segment Conditional in a template

  1. Open Microsoft Word and log in to X-Author for Contracts Advanced for Conga CLM (Contracts for Salesforce). 
  2. In the Templates pane, go to Work tab, click the More icon () and select Segment.
  3. Highlight a block of text in your template and click New Segment. This opens the Segment Condition window which has the expression builder.

  4. In the Segment Condition window, you can create a conditional expression and also create a complex expression using logical operators between multiple rows of conditions. To create an expression you must enter the values of the following three fields: 

    FieldDescription
    FieldSelect the field which you want to set as the criteria for the condition. The Field drop-down shows the Contract Agreement object and its fields from your Salesforce org. You must select a field name. The fields are listed and grouped according to their hierarchy.
    OperatorYou must select the logical operator from the drop-down. This forms the relationship between the Field and its Value.
    ValueEnter the value of the field name selected in the Field.

  5. Click Add row to create additional expressions for the same column. You can create up to a maximum of 9 filters for a single column.

  6. Enter Custom Logic to add a logical relation between multiple rows. The supported filter logic operators are AND and OR. You can use parentheses for setting the precedence. For example, if you have 5 rows you can create a filter logic like, (((1 AND 3) OR (2 AND 4)) AND 5).  In the absence of a filter logic, the default relationship between the rows is the Boolean operator AND.
  7. Click Test to check whether your filter logic expression is correct. If your logic is incorrect, you will see a message in red.
  8. Click Save to save your table filters and return to your document. 

You will see the success message and your segment will be added as Segment Conditional to the segments list in the Set Segment pane. A lightning icon () is displayed next to the newly added segment. Click the Lightning icon () to view the conditions added to the particular segment.
