Create a Condition or Term
   

Note:

  • You must be in Editor mode to create a condition or term.

 

Create a Condition

  1. To open the Conditions View, click or select View > Conditions.

  2. Right-click on in the Conditions tree, and then select Insert.

    3. A list of Boolean condition types appears.

  3. Click to select a condition logic type.

    This adds a condition to the Conditions tree.

 

Create a Term

Note:

  • You can create up to 32 terms for a condition.

A term is a statement about a time, date or event that, at any given time, may be TRUE or FALSE.
For example, a term may specify a day of the week, such as Monday. On Monday, this statement is TRUE, but on all other days it is FALSE.
Links, Redirects, Scheduled Routing Entries and Enablements can be made conditional on the basis that a given term statement within the Condition is TRUE or FALSE. How you proceed depends on the type of term you choose.

  1. In the Conditions tree, right-click on the condition to which you want to add the term.

    2. A drop-down menu appears, listing the available terms.

 

For information about how configure a term, click on that term on the image.

  1. Select the desired term.

    The term appears in the Conditions tree.

 

Invert the Logical State of a Term

In the Condition section of the Properties View, the Invert field is set to False by default. This means that the state of the term is not inverted, so the condition definition is TRUE.

Note:

  • The Is Met field underneath the Invert field tells you whether or not the condition is met at this moment in time. Thus, it is not an editable field. If the condition is met now, this field is TRUE; if the condition is not met now, this field is FALSE.

Inverting the logical state of a term can be convenient for some things but essential for other things.

Tip:

  • For example, if you want to set a condition for every day of the week apart from Sunday, you can just insert a Days of the Week term, set it for Sunday, and then invert the state of the term to become FALSE on Sunday.

To reverse the logical state of a term, do the following:

  1. Click on the term in the Conditions tree.

  2. In Properties, click in the Invert field in the Condition section.

  3. Click , and then select True.

  1. Click .

Note:

  • NOT appears before the term in the Conditions tree. This means that the term has become FALSE.
