2.6.6.4 Choose Announcement
Here you can evaluate variables several times and depending on the result of the individual logical statement, you can have a different announcement played. You define which variable should be evaluated on the “Parameters” tab. Then you can define several different logical comparisons. The evaluation list will be completely sequentially processed from the top to the bottom. All announcements, whose corresponding statement has the value “True”, will be played. All further announcements will be skipped.
If you activate the checkbox "Play control enabled", the caller can control the reproduction of the WAV file as is usual in Remote Inquiry.
This action will be terminated, if
*the announcement corresponding to the condition was played,
*the announcement was not played because no condition was fulfilled,
*a DTMF character was detected during the announcement, or
*the call was disconnected while the announcement was playing.
Under "Properties", all three tabs "General", "Parameters" and "Connections" tabs are available for this block.
This is how you define the parameters for choosing an announcement

Note that the variable you want to evaluate here must be defined beforehand using the "Set Variable" block.

4 Define the announcement to be played if the statement has the value ”True”.
You have several options:
*From the dropdown list select a file.
*Browse your hard drive by clicking on .
When searching, you can also choose a file in MP3 format. Upon selection, the MP3 file will automatically be converted into the WAV format and saved in the database on the SwyxServer. The converted files are therefore available for use later. During the conversion process, the Info dialog "Please wait, the file is being converted into WAV format" will open.
*Click on, to listen to the selected file. Click on to stop playing the file.

The WAV files, which the administrator has made available to all users, have the extension “(Template)” in the file name. These templates cannot be deleted.

6 Click on “OK”.
The “Condition” window will close. You will now see the new condition and the assigned announcement in the “Parameters” tab.
7 Activate the option "Activate reproduction control" if the caller should be able to control the reproduction of the file (e.g. skip forward and backward). The control takes place as in the menu of Remote Inquiry.
8 Define whether and, if the reproduction control is not activated, which DTMF character can be used to cancel the announcement.
In doing so, define whether the character entered should be saved in a variable and whether
*the contents of the variable should be replaced, or
