How to: Combine conditions: Nested conditions

In this article in The Rules Series, we show how to configure the rules engine to combine conditions using Nested conditions.

How Nested conditions works

Overview

Nested conditions allows you to combine multiple conditions, and use a container (see How to: Combine conditions: Using any of, all of, or none of to group conditions ) to evaluate the conditions as a single condition.

An example:

In this example, we want to configure a condition that rewards employees for a late-finishing shift on weeknights.

1. combines all the following:

   1. not linked to a leave request, and

   2. all of the following nested conditions

      1. the shifts is on days of the week: Monday | Tuesday | Wednesday | Thursday | Friday and

      2. the shift has some portion between 10:00 pm and 11:59 pm

2. The action that we will take here is to pay the employee an additional payment for the hours worked between 10:00pm and 23:59pm Monday to Friday.
