Use this panel to create criteria which will test values of global variables. Enter your selection criteria in the same way you would enter selection criteria on the record layout. The normal relational operators (see Relational Operators for the list of relational operators) are available to operate against the global variables.

The FF relational operator must be used when the global variable is to be compared against the value in another global variable or the results of a calculation.
