To specify the settings for a condition in the New Condition dialog, Create Condition dialog, or Edit Condition dialog:

1. In the Create condition based on box, select whether the condition is to be based on an Analysis or KPI.

2. For:

   • (optional) An analysis, edit any prompted filters, as desired.

   • A KPI, specify the values for any KPI dimensions.

   
   

   Note: If you specify values for any prompted filters, then these values cannot be overridden at the point of use.

   
   

3. Specify the evaluation criteria as follows:

   • For an analysis, in the Condition true if number or rows area:

     • In the Operator box, select the operator to apply to the row count.

     • In the Row Count box or boxes, specify the row count to be evaluated.

   • For a KPI, in the Condition true if KPI box, select the KPI status.

4. (optional) Click Test Condition to test the condition.

5. If you want to save the condition as:

   • An inline condition, click OK.

   • A named condition, click Save As to display the "Save As dialog", where you can save the condition by name to the catalog.

     
     

     Note: If a condition is based on an analysis or KPI that is private, you cannot save it in the /Shared Folders folder.
