A rule defines an expression that determines if a given choice or option and its associated graphic layer is visible or hidden based on the evaluation of the rule to true or false.

Rules can consist of a single expression or compound expressions using Boolean keywords or operator characters:

Boolean Keywords

AND, OR, NOT

Operator Characters

  • Period (.)

    A period concatenates a Choice Group to a Choice in a hierarchical expression.

  • Pipe (|)

    A pipe evaluates to a Boolean OR.

  • Ampersand (&)

    An ampersand evaluates to a Boolean AND.

  • Exclamation point (!)

    An exclamation point evaluates to a Boolean NOT.

  • Parentheses ( )

    A compound expression enclosed within parentheses is evaluated before other expressions in a rule

Any other unlisted keywords or operator characters in a rule are treated as part of the references.

  • Include blank spaces around the Boolean keyword within the Compound expressions.

    ConditionA OR ConditionB

  • Compound expressions that include an operator character that evaluates to a Boolean condition don't require blank spaces.

    ConditionA|ConditionB

  • Reference the property attribute by its hierarchal Choice Group name.

    ChoiceGroup.Choice

  • Rules cannot reference a Choice Group alone. Rule expressions references Choices within a Choice Group.

    ChoiceGroup.Choice.

  • When an Option is renamed, the name change is updated in all referenced rule expressions.

  • An Option or a Choice can be deleted only if no graphics are associated with their default layers.
