The Rule Builder walks you through three easy steps to define your condition and actions.
Condition
...
Wizard
Describe the conditions under which a set of actions should be executed. You can specify more than one condition in the same rule but you do not need a condition.

| Note |
|---|
When you use the VRB "contains" condition on a checkbox control, you must set the literal value to the full, exact option value. On radio and dropdown controls, partial values work, but since the Checkbox value is an array, the rule is looking for the entire option value in the array and cannot find any partial value. For example, checkbox "C" has options "Option_1", "Option_2", "Option_3". If you use the VRB rule When C contains "1", it always evaluates to false. If you change the condition to When C contains "Option_1" the rule works as expected. |
