Using the Advanced Variable Dependencies (ASV) panel


Use the Advanced Variable Dependencies (ASV) panel to create tests and equations to further qualify the event before it is automated by a Rule.

You can enter up to 512 characters of equation or comparison. You can also use the following operators:
