Creating conditional expressions and classes

You can create conditional expression-type and class-type conditions. Then you can apply the conditions to control access to data and to user interface controls.

About this task

To handle complex operations with multiple conditions, you can create an automation script that contains the condition logic. For more information, see Automating routine tasks with automation scripts. Then, you can create a single condition that references the automation script and applies the condition as needed.

Procedure

  1. In the Conditional Expression Manager, add a row and change the auto-generated Condition identifier to a meaningful identifier. Enter a complete description of the condition in the Description field.
    A meaningful identifier and a complete description help you identify a condition later.
  2. Select the condition type and enter the condition.
    1. If you selected expression type, enter an expression, or click Condition Expression Builder to build an expression in the Condition Expression Builder.
    2. If you selected class type, enter the class file name. The file must be in a folder under the root of the product folder, for example Maximo_home\maximo\samples
  3. Save the condition.
