# Showing signature elements based on a field value (Liquid templates)

## Overview

This article uses the current Opensense template syntax, Liquid (**as of 2022**). If you're used to the older format, see [HTML and field types (legacy templates)](https://help.opensense.com/docs/html-field-types-1).

You can create conditions that show a specific signature element, based on the value in an employee directory field.

## Example

This example shows a different office address for each `location` value. Each `{% when %}` lists the values that match, and `{% else %}` sets the address for any other value.

```liquid
{% case location %}

{% when "New Jersey", "NJ" %}
555 Highpoint Lane<br />
Englewood, NJ 07631

{% when "Atlanta", "ATL" %}
1234 Pleasant Street<br />
Atlanta, GA 30301

{% else %}
1234 HQ Lane<br />
Louisville, KY 40210
{% endcase %}
```


<div class="kb-media-carousel" data-kb-media-carousel aria-label="Showing an address based on location">
  <div class="kb-media-carousel__viewport">
    <figure class="kb-media-frame"><div class="kb-media-frame__visual"><img src="https://help.opensense.com/media/displaysignature1-dcda4c63da0a.png" alt="Template code with a comment, then a case statement on location with New Jersey and Atlanta branches and an else branch for the HQ address" width="991" height="462" loading="lazy" decoding="async"></div><figcaption><strong>HTML code</strong> · The case statement in the template</figcaption></figure>
