Conditions allow a business rule to take on multiple different kinds of behavior depending on the input. This makes it possible to make rules that are more specific and flexible depending on what is needed.
To set up a condition for a business rule click the small "Add condition" circle between the trigger and the actions. This will take you to the set up conditions page.
On the page click the + symbol to add a condition.
First you need to select a condition. For this example 'Previous attribute value condition' is chosen. Next you need to configure your condition if applicable. e.g. 'Color and is not empty'. When you click confirm you have added the first condition to your condition set.
Condition sets relate to each other in the same way conditions within a condition set do.
Once you are satisfied with your condition, click "Confirm".
Having added a condition, there are now 2 boxes that contains actions. One will execute if the condition is met and one will execute if the condition is not met. Note that the task, that was previously in Execute has been moved into the condition we just added. You can add more conditions by clicking "Add condition" above or under the "if" box.
These conditions will be checked sequentially from top to bottom, and if one condition is met the rest will not be checked.
So in this example, if the variant is using the product structure 'Non-food' it will not check anything else, since that is the first condition to be checked.
If you wish to add just one condition you can click "Confirm". This will add the condition to your business rule. You can also add more conditions to your condition set. If you wish to do so, you have to choose how they relate to each other. You can choose between "And" or "Or". "Or" requires only one condition to be met for the condition set to be fulfilled. "And" requires all of the conditions to be met. You can also choose to add another condition set by clicking the symbol.
