Or group logic tables
Use the Or Group field on List (MX10.1) to create an AND/OR condition between attributes. This determines if the attributes are grouped or treated individually. If you leave this field blank, AND is the default setting, which connects two statements with an AND condition. You can specify any alphanumeric character in the field to create an OR condition.
You can include combinations of AND and OR conditions. AND conditions link value ranges together as one condition. For example, you can select activities for new store projects that are in the Central region and are larger than 20,000 square feet. OR conditions are used to establish multiple sets of criteria that are applied separately. For example, you can select activities that are managed by Johnson or Smith.
If you have multiple conditions in a list, use an OR in the Or Group field to separate the conditions. Selection criteria above or below an OR condition are applied separately. This table shows how attribute and OR group combinations are combined to create conditional statements.
If the attribute on the preceding or subsequent line is | And the OR group on the preceding or subsequent line is | Result |
---|---|---|
EQUAL | EQUAL | Not valid |
EQUAL | NOT EQUAL | Or condition |
NOT EQUAL | EQUAL | And condition |
NOT EQUAL | NOT EQUAL | Or condition |
This table shows an example of attributes and or groups are combined to create this statement: "Include all projects for Moose Wood Outfitter's New Store activity group that were opened in 2005 or that were remodeled in 2005."
