Example
The following examples demonstrate typical use of Workflow Engine function checkSeverity.
If you want to check if an object has a severity level of less than 3, enter the following:
severity: <3
The UI translates your settings to the following JSON:
{"severity":"<3"}Given an object with the following data:
"severity": 1
The function returns true, since the severity level is less than 3.
Now consider an object with the following:
"severity": 3
In this case the function returns false, since the severity level is not less than 3.
However, if you were to check if the object has a severity level of less than or equal to 3 (<=3), the UI would translate your settings as follows:
{"severity": "<=3"}For the same object, the function now returns true, since your criteria now includes 3, whereas before your criteria only included values less than 3.
