Operators

When more than one line of comparison is added, they can be separated with operators in order to indicate the server exactly what needs to be searched and compared, as well as in which order.

• And: all comparisons, or set of comparisons, followed by AND need to be TRUE in order for the query to be TRUE 
• Or: if at least one of the comparisons, or set of comparisons, followed by OR is TRUE, the query will be TRUE
• Parenthesis: are available in case you need to set priority between the different lines or set of lines. Once you open parenthesis at the beginning of a line, it needs to be closed at the end of the same line or at the end of the group of lines you would like to prioritize.

After all comparisons have been established, click on Save to commit the changes and return to the workflow diagram.
