Through the Condition Expression Builder, you can add a Condition Expression to a Message Rule Table. The Expression Builder allows you to combine multiple Condition Rules in a set of expressions (or a single expression) in order to determine whether a rule is executed.
The configured expressions may be nested (maximum nesting level of 3). For example, you can apply Condition1 OR Condition3; the system evaluates the nested OR expression before the outer AND expression.
To add a condition expression to a message rule:
In the Settings tab, click the expand (
) icon next to the entry in which you want to add a Condition Expression.Rule Table 1
In the Condition Expression field, click Add/Edit.
