Adding Criteria for Dealer Business Rules

You enter the criteria for a business rule to specify whether or not the rule will apply to a given record.

This task is a step in Process of Creating Business Rule Templates for Dealers.

You enter the criteria by selecting a field, selecting a condition, and entering a value. For example, if the criteria is Hobby equals Sailing, then you select Hobby as the field, select equals as the condition, and enter Sailing as the value.

You can also enter multiple criteria. If you do this, you must choose one of the following options:

• Match ALL Criteria (AND). The rule applies only if all the criteria are true.
• Match ANY Criteria (OR). The rule applies if any one of the criteria is true.

For example, to send letters to all customers whose hobby is either sailing or bicycling:

• Enter the two criteria Hobby equals Sailing and Hobby equals Bicycling.
• Choose Match ANY Criteria (OR).

To add criteria for a business rule

2. Click Business Rule Templates.
3. Click the template name of the business rule template you want to add criteria for, and click the Criteria view tab.
