Step 1. Using Selection Criteria fields

Each event type has its own selection criteria panel and when you create a Rule for an event, the first panel displayed is the Selection Criteria --event type panel.

The event type field resolves to the name of event type that you specified in the Event Type field on the Rule Processor Detail Control panel.

The Rules Processor provides up to three panels that you can use to specify selection criteria. They are the Selection Criteria (S1) panel, the optional Variable Dependencies (SV) panel, and the optional Advanced Variable Dependencies (ASV) panel. The Rules Processor uses AND logic to combine any and all of the selection criteria from the three panels to collect the selection criteria for the Rule. For example, if criteria is specified on the S1 and ASV panels, all of the criteria on the S1 panel must match and all of the criteria specified on the ASV panel must match before the Rule fires.

For each event type, a customized selection criteria panel for that event type is displayed and contains a subset of the criteria listed in Selection-Criteria-fields.

For information about the selection criteria panel for TIME-initiated Rules and an example about how to create a Rule for a TIME event, refer to Creating-TIME-initiated-Rules.
