What conditions and condition sets are
Conditions are a set of matching criteria based on rule properties—such as the file name, directory path, and owner—that define a rule. A collection of such conditions is known as a condition set. You can use conditions and condition sets only for custom rules to determine where to place content that is written into your Infinite Volume.
Conditions
For a custom rule, you can specify conditions based on rule properties such as the file name, directory path, or owner, or a combination of all the rule properties. The logic is similar to a Boolean AND operation. For example, by using conditions, you can create a custom rule to place files with .mp3
extensions and files owned by John in the directory path starting with /NS/
.
Condition sets
The logic used for condition sets is similar to a Boolean OR operation. For example, by using conditions and condition sets, you can create a complex custom rule that matches either of the following conditions:
-
condition-1
All files owned by Mary and are placed in
/NS/Eng/
-
condition-2
All files that have names ending with
.pdf
and owned by Mary
