The conditions of a rule comprise its if statement; if these conditions are met, then perform the action specified in the rule. The basic form of a condition is If [this object] [has this relationship to] [the basis for comparing the object].
|
It is not necessary to add conditions to a rule. If, for example, you want the rules action to be applied to all objects, simply do not add any condition to the rule. |
A condition contains these primary elements:
|
|
Field[this object]
|
|
|
Operator[has this relationship to]
|
|
|
Value[the basis for comparing the object]
|
The fields are organized according to their type. When you click the Add Condition Based On button, a list of field types specific to the type of rule appears, each with a drop-down menu of the available fields. The following table lists the available field types for each rule base.
In addition to the fields that are specific to each type of rule, all rules can use rule variables for rule conditions. If no variables have been defined in the rule base, the Rule Variables condition is disabled.
