Using variables on both sides of a business rule condition

Most people know that you can use a variable on the left side of a business rule condition, such as:

Case Type = New Employee

The left side of the condition, "Case Type", is actually a business rule property that gets evaluated at runtime.

The right side of the condition, "New Employee", is a string constant.

Here's what it looks like in DovetailAdmin:

condition

and similarly in the Clarify Classic Client:

condition_clarify

 

Using variables on both sides

We can also use a business property on the right side of the condition as well. Simply type in the exact business rule property, and surround it in square brackets.

For example:

Logger != [Current Owner]

Here's what it looks like in DovetailAdmin:

condition2

and similarly in the Clarify Classic Client:

condition2_clarify

 

Next up - an example of a rule that uses this type of condition....
