Using Advanced View for Smart Group Rules

The advanced view allows you to create more complicated rules, with or logical operator and nested operations.

The advanced view uses a text editor to create code-like queries.

A single rule looks like this:

user.firstname.in(“John”) where:

• user is an object you refer to

• firstname is it’s property (a placeholder for user profile fields)

• in is operator you want to apply to the property

• (“John”) is a list of values you want to check object property against

So, the general syntax rule is object.property.operator(values)

When you want to combine rules, add && (for and) or || (for or) between the rules. Examples:

• user.firstname.in(“John”) && user.lastname.in(“Doe”) applies to all users who are named John Doe

• user.firstname.in(“John”) || user.lastname.in(“Doe”) applies to all Johns and all Does

In advanced view you can also nest rules to build more advanced rules. Examples:

• user.firstname.in(“John”) || user.lastname.in(“Doe”) ) && user.department.in(“Sales”) applies to all Johns and all Does who are members of the Sales department

Please note: If your advanced rules use syntax not supported by the Basic View, you won’t be able to go back to the Basic View.
