Line Rule - Using the Add / Edit Line Rule Dialog
The Add/Edit Rule dialog allows the user to build a rule expression that is evaluated to determine whether should be continued with this route or not. Multiple rule expressions can be added. When there is more than one expression per line rule, the expressions can be evaluated against each other to determine whether the Rule will evaluate to true.
The Add / Edit rule dialog enables the user to compose an expression that will determine the flow of a process.
The Rule is evaluated using the following formula: [First Variable] [Comparison Operator] [Second Variable] = Result
