Labeling Rule Examples
This section provides several detailed examples of crafting labeling rules.
Keep in mind the following as you craft labeling rules:
The operator you select and the particular values you enter in the Values field allow you to control the granularity of the labeling rule.
When you include multiple statements in a condition, Rule-Based Labeling automatically inserts an AND between the statements.
When you specify multiple values in a statement, Rule-Based Labeling automatically inserts an OR between the values.
