Creating a Rule to Update the Roundtrip Attribute

Create the first rule, which updates the promotion-specific roundtrip attribute. This rule applies if this trip is the first half of a possible round-trip.

The criterion is any requirement that applies in addition to using the correct flight product, such as using the required airline or the required booking class. In this example, the criterion checks for the required airline.

The action is to update the promotion-specific attribute to show that half of a round-trip has been completed.

This attribute stores the information that is evaluated by the two user properties to see whether the next potentially applicable flight completes the round-trip.
