Succeeding Rule - Using the Add / Edit Rule Dialog
The Add/Edit Rule dialog allows the user to build a rule expression that is evaluated before an activity instance is completed. Multiple rule expressions can be added. The Rule is evaluated using the following formula: [First Variable] [Logical Function][Logical Data][Comparison Operator] [Second Variable] = Result
