Else If
Purpose 
Evaluates a Boolean calculation and performs a conditional action based on that evaluation, like the If script step.
Format 
Else If [<Boolean calculation>]
Options 
Click Specify to define the Boolean calculation. In the Specify Calculation dialog box, type the calculation you want evaluated, or use the field list (on the left) and the functions list (on the right) with the mathematical and text operators to build the calculation.

Description 
Must follow an If step or another Else If step; it can’t follow an Else script step.
When an If script step calculation evaluates to True (not zero), FileMaker Pro performs the steps that are indented under it. When an If script step evaluates to False (zero), script execution moves to any following Else If steps as long as they evaluate to False. When an Else If statement evaluates to True, the block of steps under the Else If is executed. An evaluation of True ends the Else If process, and upon reaching the next Else If or Else statements, execution will skip ahead to End If.
Examples 
If [Get (AccountName) = "Jim Davis"]
Go to Layout [“File One”]
Perform Find [Restore]
Else If [Get (AccountName) = "Julia Vargas"]
Go to Layout [“File Two”]
Perform Find [Restore]
Else If [Get (AccountName) = "Gerard LeFranc"]
Go to Layout [“File Three”]
Perform Find [Restore]
Else
Go to Layout [“File Four”]
Show All Records
End If
Note  In this example, Get(AccountName) only returns usable values if database users log in using assigned account names. If no accounts are created or required, Get (AccountName) returns the default value ‘Admin’.
