Customized Digital Asset Templates

Create your own templates if you have configured digital asset definitions. A template combines digital asset definitions and logical operators (And, Or, Except) to form condition statements.

Condition Statements and Logical Operators

OfficeScan evaluates condition statements from left to right. Use logical operators carefully when configuring condition statements. Incorrect usage leads to an erroneous condition statement that will likely produce unexpected results.

See the examples in the following table.

Sample Condition Statements

Condition Statement

Interpretation and Example

[Definition 1]
And [Definition 2] Except [Definition 3]

A file must satisfy [Definition 1] and [Definition 2] but not [Definition 3].

For example:

A file must be [an Adobe PDF document] and must contain [an email address] but should not contain [all of the keywords in the keyword list].

[Definition 1]
Or [Definition 2]

A file must satisfy [Definition 1] or [Definition 2].

For example:

A file must be [an Adobe PDF document] or [a Microsoft Word document].

Except [Definition 1]

A file must not satisfy [Definition 1].

For example:

A file must not be [a multimedia file].

As the last example in the table illustrates, the first digital asset definition in the condition statement can have the "Except" operator if a file must not satisfy all of the digital asset definitions in the statement. In most cases, however, the first digital asset definition does not have an operator.
