You
can use the following condition and script parameters for menu actions.

## Condition parameters

Note:  
The usual regular expression conventions are valid in the condition field, such as ! for NOT, \&\& for AND, and \|\| for OR.

The Condition field contains a boolean expression that evaluates to
true or false. If the condition is true or if there is no condition, the specified option
appears in the menu when you right-click a CI or a relationship link. When you select the
option from the menu, ServiceNow
executes the associated script.
