Creating a Condition

Conditions are objects that return a single Boolean value based on the evaluation of an analysis.

To create a condition

1. Click the Analytics tab.
2. Pull down the New menu and choose Condition.
3. In the New Condition dialog box, complete the following fields:
   1. For Create condition based on, pull down the menu and choose the object type Analysis to base the condition on.
   2. Click Browse and navigate to a specific object of the type you selected, then click OK
   3. Depending on the object type and the specific item you selected, there may be filters within the object that are prompted (meaning that while displaying the object you can choose values to alter the contents of the display). These prompts are interactive so you can adjust the output based on your selections. However, a condition cannot interactively make those selections, so you must click the Edit (pencil icon) for each such parameter and choose one operator and value. For example, choose the is less than operator and choose a value.
   4. For True If Row Count, choose an operator and a value.
4. (Optional) To test the condition, click Test.

When the condition is run, Analytics evaluates the object using the parameters (if any) and the True If Row Count test to determine a true or false value for the condition. Conditions return only a true or false value.
