@Gangadhar540- 

Filter Condition

• Purpose: Used to specify criteria that records must meet to be included in a list or report.
• Example: If you want to display all incidents with a priority of "High," you would set a filter condition on the incident list to show only records where priority = High.

Condition Field

• Purpose: Used within business rules to determine when the rule should execute.
• Example: In a business rule, you might set a condition field to trigger the rule only when the state of an incident changes to "Resolved."

@Gangadhar540- 

in filter conditions you can directly access the fields and give the conditions, mostly used for simple conditions

example: Name IS Abel

In advanced condition field -> you can use scripting, access current and previous object, invoke script include function, check role etc

Hi @Gangadhar540- 

• Filter Conditions: Simple no code filter conditions. These conditions must return true for the Business Rule to execute.
• Condition field:  to write JavaScript to specify when the Business Rule script should execute.

Putting in simple words: Filter conditions are meant to determine whether to run the Business Rule and Condition filed is the next layer that determines whether to run the script written in the 'Script' field of Business Rule (The BR script logic only executes when the Condition field returns true. If the Condition field is empty, the field returns true)
