A condition builder constructs a condition statement with a series of contextually
generated fields. Condition builders are used in many operations, such as creating filters,
administering surveys, and administering access control.

## Before you begin

Role required: admin

## About this task

A condition consists of three parts.
{#create-cond-state-using-cond-build__table_e1y_ycy_h1b__entry__2}

| Part | Description |
|-|-|
| Field | A choice list based on the table and user access rights. The choice list can include fields on related tables by dot-walking. |
| Operator | A choice list based on the field type. For example, in the Incident \[incident\] table, the greater than operator does not apply to the Active field but it does apply to the Priority field. |
| Value | A text entry field or a choice list, depending on field type. For example, in the Incident \[incident\] table, the Active field offers a choice list with the values true, false, and empty, while the Short Description field offers a text entry field. |
