7. Click the Constants tab.

8. In the Type list, click Integer, type 0 (zero) in the Constant box, and then click Add. The calculated expression appears as follows:

   RM _Customer_MSTR.HOLD = 0

9. Click the True Case box.

10. Click the Constants tab.

11. In the Type list, click String, leave the Constant box blank, and then click Add.

12. Click the False Case box.

13. Click the Constants tab.

14. In the Type list, click String, type Hold in the Constant box, and then click Add.

15. Click OK to save the new conditional field.
