Conditions

Conditions dictate the circumstances that invoke the actions associated with the rule. When conditions are met, the actions are processed.

To create conditions:

1. Edit the rule and select the CONDITIONS section.
2. Select Start Condition.
3. If you only need a single condition, select Condition Node and choose the condition type: Source Attribute condition, Source Event condition, Attribute Event condition, or Rule Variable condition. If you need multiple conditions, select either AND Condition or OR Condition and then select to add a condition node or another (nested) AND Condition or (nested) OR Condition. Once you add a new condition node, you configure the expression.
4. Select OK.

The Source Attribute condition type allows you to define a condition based on the value of a source attribute.

1. In the New Condition window, select Source Attribute Condition from the Condition Type drop-down list.
2. Select the source attribute from the Source Attribute drop-down list.
3. Select operator (e.g. equals, not equals, greater than, etc.) to use from the Operator drop-down list.
4. Depending on the operator chosen, you may have a Compare with: Constant Value setting where you can enter the value to compare with the source attribute.
5. Depending on the operator chosen, you may have a Comparison Type property where you can choose how to handle the case of the attributes in the value (e.g. ignore case, numeric, regex, etc.).
6. Select OK.
7. After all conditions are added, select the ACTIONS section in the Rule Builder.

The Source Event condition type allows you to define a condition based on the when a specific type of event has occurred on the source entry.

1. In the New Condition window, select Source Event Condition from the Condition Type drop-down list
2. Select either equals or not equals to compare the event from the Assert Equality drop-down list.
3. Select the type of event from the Event Type drop-down list (e.g. Inserted Entry, Updated Entry, etc.).
4. Select OK.
5. After all conditions are added, select the ACTIONS section in the Rule Builder.

The Attribute Event condition type allows you to configure a condition for when a specific type of event has occurred on the source attribute.

1. In the New Condition window, select Attribute Event Condition from the Condition Type drop-down list
2. Select the type of event from the Change Event drop-down list (e.g. Value was added, Value was deleted, etc.).
3. Select the attribute that the change event is to be checked for.
4. Select OK.
5. After all conditions are added, select the ACTIONS section in the Rule Builder.

The Rule Variable condition type allows you to populate the rule variable when an existing rule variable contains a specific value based on a comparison operation and criteria.

1. In the New Condition window, select Rule Variable Condition from the Condition Type drop-down list.
2. Select the existing variable from the Rule Variable drop-down list.
3. Select the operator to compare the existing variable value from the Operator drop-down list (e.g. equals, not equals, starts with, etc.).
4. Enter the value to use for comparison in the Compare With: Constant Value property.
5. Choose the Comparison Type (e.g. ignore case).
6. Select OK.
