The Compound Conditional Statement

If Filename (F)= Bob.txt AND If User is Member of Admins (MA), Users (U), Power Users (PU)

If this expression were evaluated from left to right, the results would not match our expectations:

If (((F and MA) or U) or PU)

Instead, EFT Server evaluates the conditional statement first as its own atomic unit and then evaluates the resulting expression from left to right:

If (F and (MA or U or PU))

This allows you to create expressions that contain order-of-precedence grouping without having to use parentheses. The evaluative OR statement is hidden inside the conditional statement, as long as that conditional statement can evaluate against multiple criteria.

Only the following conditions can evaluate against multiple criteria (strings):

If User is Member of
If Login name
If Virtual Path
If Physical Path
If Physical Folder Name

If Physical Destination Path
If Physical Destination Folder Name
If Destination File Name
If Virtual Destination Path
If Filename

To define multiple criteria for a Condition

Double-click a Condition in the list to add it to the Rule Builder. (To learn more about available conditions, refer to Conditions.)
If you are adding an additional Condition, highlight the existing Condition in the Rule Builder, then in the Conditions list, double-click the Condition you want to add. The Condition appends to the existing one and adds a logical operand (AND/OR).
Click the logical operand to change it.

If you insert multiple Conditions, all of the logical operands must be the same for that line of Conditions. That is, you can have Condition 1 AND Condition 2 OR Condition 3.

If you need to use more complex criteria using AND and OR, you can use wildcard logic to create any logic that wildcards support. For example, if you add the File Name condition to the Rule pane, you can then define the path mask using complex logic with wildcards.
