Boolean Variables

Boolean-type variables can be created with an initial true or false value, or to be populated later with a true or false value from a rule. Boolean-type variables are used mainly when customizing a Rule's condition.

This process takes place in a Ruleset editor, in the Variables section.
  1. Make sure nothing in Variables is selected. If something is selected, Ctrl+click on it to deselect it.
  2. Click the Add Variable button to produce the Create a New Variable window.
    1. In the Name field, type what you'd like to call the variable.
    2. Select Boolean from the Type drop-down.
    3. Choose a Value radio-button. Options are:
      • True - If the statement is true
      • False - If the statement is false
      • Reset - Reset the values
      Note: Clicking true or false creates a hard-coded constant value. Because it is a hard-coded constant value, if you want to change it, you must reset the value first. The Reset button only works after you've defined and saved this variable once.
  3. Click OK to complete this task.
Next: Use the new variable when applying conditions to rules in the Properties view's Conditions panel in a Ruleset editor.
