Switch to New Entry Criteria | You will see this toggle only when editing an activity in an existing workflow. Enabling this toggle upgrades the activity to the new IntelliSense Criteria Builder and migrates the old criteria. If the migration fails, you must correct the criteria for a successful conversion or continue using the older version indefinitely. Once switched, you cannot revert to the older Criteria Builder. |
|
Filter Expression |
By default, the application applies AND logic to all criteria. You can adjust this to create more complex logical expressions if needed. You can customize your logic using parentheses, AND, OR, and NOT. For example, if you enter “(1 AND 2 AND 3) OR 4”, the system will evaluate whether all three of the first conditions are true, or if the fourth condition is true. |
