Value rules

Value rules are generally used for simplification. Complex conditions, which need to be used several times, for example, can be configured in value rules in order to be used in filtering rules at a later date.

On the left side, the tasks for the value rules can be found.

Managing value rules

In order to create a new value rule, the button Add value rule can be used in the task menu on the left. In the following dialog, a name for the new rule is to be entered. If multiple languages have been activated on the system, the name has to be localized for each language. A click on OK creates the new rule. If an existing rule is to be modified, this very dialog can be accessed via a double-click on the rule.

In the next step, the conditions for the value rules have to be set (see Filtering rules).

After the configuration of the value rule has been finished, this rule can be used in the filtering rules. The condition Value rule allows for embedding existing valid value rules into the existing filtering system.
