   Depending on the attributes of the consumer factory, up to three tabs are displayed: Receiver Determination, Sender Determination, and Authentication Determination. On each of the tabs, the attributes of the filter structure are displayed.

4. On each of the tabs, perform the following steps.

5. Create conditions by choosing the white paper symbol.

   Specify a name and a priority. The priority determines the order in which the conditions are processed, if you define more than one.

6. Create one or more expressions.

   Conditions consist of one or more expressions. If there are more than one, they are joined using a logical and conjunction. An expression consists of one or more select options. The select options are joined using an or conjunction. This way, all possible combinations can be described.

   For each expression, drag a field from the left pane into the table and specify the logic.

7. Assign the condition to a receiver, sender, or authentication method by dragging and dropping the following from the left pane:

   • For logical sender determination, assign the correct sender IBC for this condition.

   • For logical receiver determination, assign the correct receiver IBC for this condition.

   • For logical authentication determination, assign the correct logon data for this condition.
