Add an Outcome Rule

The Add command opens up the Add Rule parameters dialog. The dialog is used to compose a line rule expression. The Add / Edit rule dialog is used to compose expressions for when there is only one rule or more than one. When there is more than one expression per rule, the expressions can be evaluated against each other to determine whether the Rule will evaluate to true.
