Adding Rule Logic

Use the Rule Logic Add/Edit tab to add each row for the rule logic statement with a list of member values.

The Rule Logic Add/Edit tab consists of these elements:

• Condition Summary—Provides the logic for the check rule by enabling the specification of conditional expression that evaluates to "true" or "false."

  If the Condition Summary does not contain a condition, it does not show OK or Error, but it does show an intersection that you can specify.

  The Condition Summary and Display Summary options are optional, but if omitted, they display only 0.00.

• Display Summary—Enables the specification of a multiple-dimensional lookup to be used as the display value.

  The display value is ignored and if the row has no rule logic at all and just a display value, the row is ignored and the report is terminated. The only value displayed in the Value column on the report is whatever expression is contained in the Display Summary. The display summary is optional.

• Add—Adds a row in the summary.

• Delete—Removes a row in the summary.

To add a rule logic statement:

1. On Rule Logic Editor, select the Rule Logic Add/Edit tab.
2. From the Condition or Display summary grid, click Add.

   A blank line is displayed.

3. Enter the rule to test.

   Note:

   When using the equal sign for evaluating amounts, use double equal signs (==).

4. Optional: Click .
5. From Rule Logic in the Intersection Type field, select the intersection type for the multidimensional lookup.

   Available intersection types:

   • Source intersection—Values are enclosed by the "~" character.

   • Converted source intersection—Values are enclosed by the ' character.

   • Target intersection—Values are enclosed by the "|" character.

   See Multidimensional Lookup.

6. From Dimension, select the dimension from which to retrieve values.
7. From Member Value, select a value from the dimension.
8. Click Add to Intersection.

   The member value is added to the Display area.

9. Click OK.
