Defining advanced rules for activity prerequisites

You can define advanced rules for activity prerequisites for specified distribution groups or individual resources. You must have one or more of the required prerequisites already defined in order to create advanced rules. Recommended prerequisites cannot be used in advanced rules.

  2. On the Activities panel, open the activity to update.
  3. Select the Prerequisites tab.
  4. Click Create on the Advanced Rules panel.
  5. Specify Rule ID. Rule ID is relevant if you require certain rules to take precedence over other rules with lower Rule ID.
  6. Specify advanced condition.
    Condition Description
    true The selected employee or group employees must complete all activities in the Prerequisites table.

    Example: Use A or(B and C) if the employees must complete the activity A or both the activity B and C.
