Filter Criteria: And/Or Rule #3

In-help popup

Rule: When three or more criteria are joined by any combination of Ands and Ors, the criteria joined by the Ands are grouped together and evaluated first. Then the Or statements are evaluated.

Goal: | Select all shoes that are brown tie or black slip-on
Criterion: | (a mixed And/Or statement) Brwn and Tie or Black and Slon must be in the Item Name field
Items Selected: | Items #101, #401, #801

When designing these more complex statements, it often helps to visualize the AND statements enclosed within brackets and treated as a unit. Rewriting the criteria above would yield:

[Brwn and Tie] or [Blck and Slon]

Point of Sale evaluates And requirement, i.e., that were both Brwn and Tie (Item #101). Then it identifies all the items that meet the second And requirement (Blck and Slon, Items #401 and #801).

After evaluating all the Ands, Point of Sale looks at the Or statements. All items that satisfy either of the requirements joined by an Or are selected. In this case, Item #101 is selected because it satisfies the And statement to the left of the Or, and Items #401 and #801 are selected because they satisfy the And statement to the right.
