Creating and Defining Structure Rules

The Structure section contains structure elements to configure rules based on conditions or repeating elements.

  • Region: indicates the grouping of multiple rules within the same container that acts like a parent for the container elements.
      Note:
    • The Region element is similar to the Repeating Group as structure, except that Region is only executed once.
    • Repeating Group indicates a repeating structure rule.

    When to use Region:

    • A list of rules matched within a Region rule allows the rules to be moved all at once by moving the Region rule.
    • A rule matched within a Region rule inherits the Region coordinate value if the Export As coordinate field of the rule is set on Absent.

  • Repeating Group: indicates a repeating structure rule.
  • Condition: defines conditions for a rule.

    See Condition Editor for information on how to work with the Condition Editor.

  • Anchor: sets the current processing cursor pointer.
  • Macro: creates a macro-based rule, that invokes of a macro definition.
  • Section: allows you to organize rules into sections that are tagged as structural elements or containers. For example, you can use Section to tag multiple paragraphs into a section that uses a particular language.
    Note: The difference between region and section is that region behaves as a logical unit and section behaves as a structural unit.

In this section:

  1. Adding Conditions
    A condition rule controls the flow of processing logic. It evaluates a specific test and then executes one of two branches based on the result: True or False. These branches are automatically created as ConditionBranch(Action) rules whenever a Condition rule is added.Users cannot insert True/False branch rules independently.
  2. Editing Conditions
    This option allows you to edit existing conditions.
