The top level is always a group. A group can contain one or more Rules and/or Groups.
Rule
A Rule is a logic expression using a single operator or function, and their associated operand
(s). The number and type of operands is dependent upon the operator or function chosen.
Rules can also have different types. The available rule types depend upon the context where
the Rule Editor is used. For instance, within Job Creation, there can be data rules that are
based on record data belonging to a content item, but there will also be "location rules" that
deal with the position of a document within the job.
The Rule types are as follows:
l
Data Rule: This rule operates upon Data entries. Select the Data Field, then select the
logical test and the associated test value(s). The options available will depend upon the
Data Field type (they are "type aware"), but all have at least "is equal to" and "is not equal
to" to another entry as an option.
The data type specific options are as follows:
l
Alphanumeric data field specific selections: Whether the alphanumeric string
"contains", "does not contain", "starts with" or "ends with" another string value.
The "is like" and the "is not like" selections allow the use of "*" wildcards.
The comparison string could be a manually entered string, or it could be another
textual data field. The data field could be from the data model, or it could be a
runtime parameter entered as part of Job Creation. Runtime parameters are
expressed as "params.xxxx", where the xxxx is the name of the runtime parameter.
In the Data Filtering Options rules editor the comparisons are always case sensitive.
