Operand data types and operator compatibility
The various operands that are available in conditions are based on a range of data types. All parts of a condition — LHS operand, operator, and RHS operand — must be based on the same data type.
The following table lists and describes all comparison operators that are available for selection in conditions and specifies the operand data types that each operator supports.
Operator | Operand data type | Expression returns TRUE if... |
|---|---|---|
after | Date | the date property of the LHS operand is chronologically after the date specified by the RHS operand |
before | Date | the date property of the LHS operand is chronologically before the date specified by the RHS operand |
between |
| the LHS operand value falls within the range defined by two RHS operands |
contains |
| the LHS operand contains the string defined by the RHS operand |
contains (case sensitive) |
| the LHS operand contains the case-sensitive string defined by the RHS operand |
count between | not relevant (cardinality condition) | the number of occurrences of the configuration object falls within the range defined by two RHS operands |
count does not equal | not relevant (cardinality condition) | the number of occurrences of the configuration object specified in the LHS operand does not equal the value defined by the RHS operand |
count equals | not relevant (cardinality condition) | the number of occurrences of the configuration object specified in the LHS operand equals the value defined by the RHS operand |
count greater than | not relevant (cardinality condition) | the number of occurrences of the configuration object specified in the LHS operand is greater than the value defined by the RHS operand |
