Valid only within [If] ... [/If] container tags. [Else] executes the remainder of the container tag only if the expression in the [Else] tag returns True or no expression is specified.

| Optional Parameters | |
|---|---|
| Conditional Expression | The conditional expression to be evaluated. If True this portion of the conditional will be executed. Defaults to True if no conditional expression is specified. |
The [Else] tag now accepts an optional conditional expression so that it functions in place of the deprecated [Else:If] tag. The [Else] tag behaves like the [Else] tag in earlier versions of Lasso if no conditional expression is specified.
To show a message if a field is empty:
Use the [If] ... [/If] container tag with an [Else] tag. The [If] tag contains a conditional expression to check whether the field value for First_Name contains any data. If it does then the field value is shown with a label, otherwise a message is displayed that the field does not contain data.
[If: (Field: 'First_Name') != ' ']
<br>First Name: [Field: 'First_Name']
[Else]
<br>No First Name Specified.
[/If]
<br>No First Name Specified.
