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.
-
Make sure nothing in Variables is selected. If something is selected,
Ctrl+click on it to deselect it.
-
Click the Add Variable button to produce the
Create a New Variable window.
-
In the Name field, type what you'd like to call the
variable.
-
Select Boolean from the Type drop-down.
-
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.
-
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.
