How do view rules work in a list vs in a form?

I see that there are two types of view rules with two different modes, here are their respective question, assuming that the view rules run when the user first loads a list or a form.

case 1:

advance = true && is_list = true

-what does the condition run against? the filter on the view?

case 2:

advance = false && is_list = true

-what does the condition run against? the filter on the view?

case 3:
advance = true && is_list = false

case 4:

advance = false && is_list = false

I found this servicenow doc that is kinda related but it didnt fully answer my question:

Hi @juan9 ,

in simple way

when advance = true meaning script to determine when to display a particular view

   in script:

• if (is_list) { // if it's a list
  answer = "ess"; // set the new view to answer
  }
  else // if it's not a list, in other words, on a form
  answer = ""; // "" is for default view

when  advance = false then it will run on form view only.

Please mark helpful & correct answer if it's really worthy for you.

Thanks,

BK
