Combined condition
To evaluate several condition types simultaneously, create a combined condition. To combine all condition types, use the logical operators AND and OR.
The evaluation result of a combined condition is True or False, based on the evaluation results of the sub-conditions.
This table shows the syntax of a combined condition:
| Syntax | [Condition1] AND | OR [Condition2]
Note: You can have more than two sub conditions in one combined condition. For example:
[Condition1] AND [Condition2] AND [Condition3] |
|---|---|
| Condition1 | A condition that is already defined in the workflow definition. |
| Condition2 | A condition that is already defined in the workflow definition. |
| Evaluation if AND is used | The evaluation result is True if all conditions are True. |
| Evaluation if OR is used | The evaluation result is True if at least one of the conditions is True. |
This table shows the syntax of a nested combined condition:
| Syntax | [Condition1] AND | OR ([Combined Condition]) |
|---|---|
| Condition1 | A condition that is already defined in the workflow definition. |
| Combined Condition | A combined condition that is already built using AND or OR, based on the list of conditions. Combined conditions that are reused are surrounded by round parentheses. |
| Evaluation | The comparison conditions are evaluated first. The combined conditions that are marked by parentheses are then evaluated. The evaluation result is True or False. |
Example
This table shows an example of a combined condition:
| Name | Type | Condition | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| SalesOrderShipped | Parameter-Value Comparison | SOStatus = Shipped | Checks whether a sales order is shipped. |
| PartialShipment | Parameter Comparison | ShippedQuantity < OrderedQuantity | Checks whether only part of the order was shipped. |
| DelayedShipment | Parameter Comparison | PromisedShipDateTime < ActualShipdateTime | Checks whether the shipment was late. |
| PartialOrDelayed | Combined Condition | PartialShipment OR DelayedShipment | Checks whether the shipment is partial or delayed. |
| PartialOrDelayedShipment | Combined Condition | SalesOrderShipped AND PartialOrDelayed | Checks whether a partial or delayed shipment took place. |
The resulting condition is:
SOStatus = Shipped AND (ShippedQuantity < OrderedQuantity OR PromisedShipDateTime < ActualShipdateTime)
