[EmData] Putting Comments

[Joe Mathia - Em Support]

Hi Jojo,

The correct mechanism to use would be if...endif conditionals.

For instance, you could do something like:

«fields data1, data2, data3, data4
> Data1: «data1»
> Data2: «data2»
> «if data3 is not empty»Data3: «data3»
> «endif»«if data4 is not empty»Data4: «data4»
> «endif»Data5: «data5»

Does this help?

Regards,
