  3. Under Edit, select the check box for Configurations and click .
  4. Under Name, double-click the configuration or click Build.
  5. In the Rules Builder, select Logic > IF( , , ) and create an expression:
    • In the IF field, construct the condition that determines what the first menu selection could be (with the menu value in quotes).
    • In the Then field, type the name, in quotes, of the configuration to which the above selection refers.
      The case of the name and the configuration must match exactly.
    • In the Otherwise field, type the name, in quotes, of the other configuration.

    The formula shown in the rules list:

    IF (MenuSelect = "MenuValue", "ConfigAValue", "ConfigBValue" )
