Adding a Condition

Context

You add conditions to a rule when you want the associated actions in the rule to be performed only when the conditions are satisfied.

For more information, see Rule

Conditions are always of the format: "LHS value comparator RHS value". In the rule editor, under the If section of a rule you can specify the LHS value and RHS value and choose an appropriate comparator.

Procedure

  1. Locate the ruleset , expand the ruleset node, the Rules folder and double-click a rule node.

    Locate the flow ruleset , expand the flow ruleset node, the Rules folder and double-click a rule node.
