Option Description

Apply the following filters to show the transition

Select this option to configure property value conditions that must be met to show the transition. This dialog box works the same way as the Property Filter page in the Find dialog of the PowerUser client application:

  1. Click the Add button to add a property value condition. Enable Show system properties to show the system properties in the Property list in addition to the custom properties.

    Note:

    Double-click any cell to create a new condition using the default options.

  2. In the Match Scope column, select either selected document or Never.
  3. In the Property column, select the property to be evaluated.
  4. In the Condition column, select the condition to evaluate.
  5. In the Value column, type the value to evaluate.
  6. To remove a condition, select it and click Remove or clear its check box.

    Note:

    Clearing the check box next to a condition Name has the same effect as clicking the Remove button. The condition is removed when you click the OK button.

  7. To remove all current conditions, click Remove All.

    Note:

    You will also find the Remove and Remove All commands on the shortcut menu shown by right-clicking a condition.

Select All of these criteria if all (Boolean AND operation) of the property value conditions must be met for the transition to be shown. Select Any of these criteria (Boolean OR operation) if all of the property value conditions must be met for the transition to be shown.

Note:

The options configured on this page are evaluated together with the options configured on the Authorization page to determine the effective visibility of a transition. For more information about transition visibility options, see Configure Transition Authorization.
