To define an expression, you specify the following:

The left argument

The operator

The right argument

These three pieces together form a statement, such as these:

Sample Expressions

Left Argument

Operator

Right Argument

The value selected in the Loss Type list field

is

Fire Damage

The current user

is not

a member of the Outside Counsel group

The Trial Date

is changed

from any date to any date

The Expiration Date field

is populated

[none]

If you add these statements as expressions, the condition evaluates the statements to determine whether the condition is true.

The type of data being compared in the left and right arguments must match. For example, if your left argument identifies a list field, then your operator and right argument options allow you to compare the selection with a selection made in another list field or to a literal list value.

Operator Fields

The operator connects the rights and left arguments. Refer to the following table for a description of each operator field.

Right Argument Fields

The types of right arguments you can add depend on the data type of the left argument.
