Part	Description
Field	A choice list based on the table and user access rights. The choice list can include fields on related tables by dot-walking.
Operator	A choice list based on the field type. For example, in the Incident [incident] table, the greater than operator does not apply to the Active field but it does apply to the Priority field.
Value	A text entry field or a choice list, depending on field type. For example, in the Incident [incident] table, the Active field offers a choice list with the values true, false, and empty, while the Short Description field offers a text entry field.

Procedure

To add a dependent condition, select AND or OR next to the condition.
To add a top-level condition, select AND or OR on the condition builder toolbar above the conditions.
To remove a condition, select the delete icon (X) next to the condition.
