OptionIf you are selecting a List, leave this field blank. Otherwise, enter the option (associated with the option type you selected at the Option Type field) for which the rule is testing the option type. If you click the Search button, you access a list of Options from which you can select a code. If you enter an option here, the List, 2nd Option Type, and Level fields are not available.

If you enter a List here, the Option, 2nd Option Type, and Level fields are not available. If you click the Search button, you can select a List code from the grid.  

Comparison Option TypeIf you left the Option and List fields blank, you can use this field to specify the option type whose value the rule is comparing to the Option Type value. Your response here must be different than the response in the Option Type field. If you click the Search button, you access a list of option types from which you can select. If you enter a second Option Type here, the Option and List fields are not available.

LevelUse this field to indicate whether the 2nd option type entered (in the field to the left of this field) is at the Sub (option) or Parent level. The default is Sub.

OperatorEnter the logical operator (that is, AND or OR) joining this rule line entry with the next rule line. The default value is ‘AND’.  An operator is never required for the last row in the grid. An operator is required when there are multiple tests (values) as part of the rule. Operators may not be mixed. They must all be ‘AND’ or  ‘OR’.
