Creating more powerful Rules
When you specify data on any of the Selection Criteria or Action Specification panels (except where noted), you can specify:
- Constant values (or literals)
- Patterns of strings of data
- Variables
- Combinations of all of the above
Specifying only literals when you create a Rule might limit the Rule applicability to only very specific situations. However, by using variables, combinations of literals and variables, or pattern matching, you can create more powerful and flexible Rules that apply to more general situations. By using these techniques, you can accomplish an automation task with fewer EXECs and more effective Rules.
