• if(): Evaluates a logical statement and returns different results if the logical statement returns true or false.
• true(): The opposite to the false() function; returns the boolean value true.

Boolean

Usage considerations

Using the false() function is equivalent to using false (without calling the function) in any expression. If calling the false() function with parentheses, any parameters provided to the function are ignored.

An easy way to check if a value is either null or true is to make a comparison to false using the <> operator. For example, the following expressions result in the same outcome:

• local!value <> false()
• or(local!value = true(), a!isNullOrEmpty(local!value))

  local!user3Active: true(),
  and(
    local!user1Active,
    local!user2Active,
    local!user3Active
  )
)

Returns false because not all of the users are currently active.
