Condition tab
| Classification | Use the is any data (ALL) option to bypass applying a content classification, or use the is one of (OR) or is all of (AND) options to select predefined classifications. You can use the + icon to add multiple classifications, and define their relationship with the and/or option. Using classification grouping — When you include multiple classifications in a rule, you can group classifications and create a custom expression to optimize a condition using the Boolean AND or OR operations. When more than two rows of conditions are included, a toggle button appears. Click the toggle button to enable custom classification grouping and type the custom classification grouping expression. For example, if classifications 1, 2, and 3 are included in a Classification condition, you can build an expression similar to ((1 AND 2) OR (1 AND 3)). The expressions are simplified using the Boolean logic. The brackets are added automatically to the expression if not included. If an expression has both AND and OR, the classification item numbers with AND logic are grouped first and then the classification item numbers with OR logic are grouped. The AND operation takes precedence over the OR operation and the expression is computed from left to right. A classification grouping expression must include all classification item numbers. |
