When variant values from multiple within and across groups are used to add content to a translation job then the system uses AND-OR logic to select content.
Scenario 1: OR logic - multiple values within a group are selected
When more than one value is selected within a variant criterion group, the system will use an OR expression when determining which objects to include in the Translation job.
| The OR implies that any of the checked values within a group are valid. For example, it may select objects that have Country=Spain OR Country=Columbia. |
Scenario 2: AND logic - values across multiple groups are selected
If values in more than one variant criterion group are selected, then the system will use an AND expression between variant criteria groups.
| The AND implies that objects sent for translation must meet at least one value from each of the variant criteria groups. For example, select only objects that have Country=Spain AND Version=1.0. |
Scenario 3: AND-OR logic - combining multiple values within a group with selections across multiple groups
Let's look at how both types of logic are used together.
| The AND implies that objects sent for translation must meet at least one value from each of the variant criteria groups (in this example, objects would need a value from the top AND a value from the bottom). The OR implies that any of the checked values within a group are valid. So, objects will be selected for translation if they have any checked value from the top variant criterion and any checked value from the bottom variant criterion. |
Note: Given the fall-back, there is also an "invisible" system value of "None" in each variant criterion group.
