Minimum Criteria Requirements |
|
All criteria must be met |
When selected, all criteria (created by clicking the Add Criteria button, see below) must be met for the Transaction Boundary to be valid. |
At least one criterion must be met |
When selected, one or more of the specified criteria (created by clicking the Add Criteria button, see below) must be met for the Transaction Boundary to be valid. |
Add Criteria |
Click Add Criteria to define what a chosen Transaction field must yield for the current Transaction Group’s boundary conditions to be met. Select a Transaction field from the drop-down list. When Field defines Transaction beginning is selected, all three options are available. When Field defines Transaction end is selected, only Has the value is available. Has the value – enter the value the selected field must have for the current Transaction Group’s boundary conditions to be met. Has a different value to the previous matched line – when the selected field’s value changes (or the field’s value is missing), the current Transaction Group’s boundary conditions are met. Has a different value, excluding values that are missing – when the selected field’s value changes, the current Transaction Group’s boundary conditions are met. However, if the selected field is missing a value, the boundary condition is not met. |
