Adding Additional Conditions to a Rule
Using the same example as we started in the topic previous to this one, let's assume that you need to add another condition to your Spring rule, to offer this same discount for the Spring and the Winter (skipping over the summer). The rule will then match like this - "Current Date and Time is in Spring" OR "Current Date and Time is in Winter".
- Open the record previously saved
- Change the name of the Rule if you like, to something like Spring and Winter
- Click the Add Condition button. A new blank condition will be added below the first one.
- Change the Apply When field to Current Date and Time. Then change the 3rd field (the Operator) to Between
- Change the Date 1 and Date 2 fields to match the start and end date we are matching against. Your conditions should then appear as follows:
- When there is more than one condition on a Rule, a Condition Formula section will appear below them to control how the conditions will be evaluated. By default, for this example that section will appear like this:

It is important to understand how this formula works. If left as it is, this Rule will never be true, because it in essence is saying "If today's date is in Spring AND today's date is in Winter". Because this is obviously not possible, the Rule will evalute to false. To change this rule to work the way we want it to, change the Formula field to Condition 1 OR Condition 2. You should then see this:
- Click

In the exampe above, if we had 3 or more conditions, the Condition Formula section would change to something like this:
