"And"/ "or" operators

In between, you can choose the operator "and/ or" to specify the segmentation query further. 

Remember: AND has higher precedence over OR. For example, if defined A and B or C, in fact if will behave in this way: (A and B) or C.

 

Exclusion

It is possible to set condition negation by clicking on the "Not" button. In this way, it is possible to exclude certainspecific values.

Set parentheses () to specify query. For example, "(A or B) and (C or D)":  customers from "(A Jakarta or B Singapore) and (C subscribed to an email or D made a transaction)".  

Remember: AND has higher precedence over OR. For example, if defined A and B or C, in fact if will behave in this way: (A and B) or C.
