Return value: Values of type Number

From: This field is required. Enables if the selected base rule requires a Dynamic Date. Using a Dynamic Date, this field defines the first date of a date range from which the Rule is to begin considering the Base Rule parameters.

Through: This field is required. Enables if the selected base rule requires a Dynamic Date. Using a Dynamic Date, this field defines the end date of the date range from which the Rule is to consider through when considering the Base Rule parameters.

Where: This optional field is dependent on the Base Rule’s return value type and its purpose is to redefine the Base Rule’s test results. For example, to return candidates that are exactly forty percent allocated, this means Where=40. To return forty percent and above including forty means, Where >=40. To return forty percent and above - excluding forty, means Where>40.

If there is a value in this field, it must be a variable Dynamic Condition (DyC) of the same type as the Base Rule’s return value type. If the DyC is True, this field redefines the test and typically makes the test more selective; therefore, some people may "fail” the Rule’s test, even though they "passed” the Base Rule’s criteria (their return value was True or it matched the target value of the Base Rule).
If this field is blank, the default DyC tests the Base Rule’s return value for True (Boolean return values), NOT zero (number return values), and NOT NULL or blank (DateTime, Date, and string return values).
If this Rule is used to Sort people in a List Target or a List, then people that "failed” the more selective test of this Argument are sorted with the people that failed the Base Rule’s criteria, but their return value is displayed in the Candidates panel.

Pass Text: This is an optional 40 character field used for an alphanumeric message that is displayed when the base rule returns TRUE. The message appears in the Rule Audits window when the rule is being used as a sort and its return value is Boolean. This text is displayed in the Rule Audits when the rule is applied to a Sort type category.

Not Those identified Above: Used to target the people opposite of those selected by the Base Rule. If this Rule is used to Sort people in a List target or a List, then this checked box changes the location of the people that fail the Rule’s test (their return value is False or it is blank because it did not match the target value of the Base Rule). People that fail the Rule’s test are preferred and either sort to the top using an ascending sort; or they are pushed behind the other candidates in a descending sort.

Sorting: Candidates with percent values are preferred (sorted to the top) over other candidates in an ascending sort; otherwise they are pushed to the bottom of the list in a descending sort. Records not passing a dynamic Where condition sort to the top. People with an empty calculated rule value sort to the top.
