Configuration Options for Conditions

Conditions provide flexible options for defining when the notification rule is triggered and which issues to send as notifications to your designated channel. Validio supports the following condition types:

Condition TypeDescriptionConfiguration Options
OwnerSend notifications based on who is the owner of a source. Owners can be assigned on the Sources and Source Details pages.Select from a list of Owners
SegmentSend notifications based on one or more segmentation key-value pairs.

One segment condition can have multiple key-value pairs. Key-value pairs within a condition are inclusive:

Condition
COUNTRY=SWEDEN
CITY=STOCKHOLM

Will match either key-value segment.

If you have multiple segment conditions, the key-value pairs between conditions are used for multi-column segmentation matching:

Condition 1
COUNTRY=SWEDEN

Condition 2
CITY=STOCKHOLM

Will match the specific segment that contains both conditions.		Field
