E.g. Employee Number.
- Click on Add to Condition (2).
- The condition will be added to the Condition field (3).

</div><div></div></div></div></div></div></div>**And (7)** is used to specify two/more conditions that an employee meet in order to be included. E.g. if an employee is part of Gauteng branch managers, **And** they are part of Limpopo branch managers they will be included. This also implies that employees who only form part of one group will not be included.

**Or (7)** is used when an employee should be included in the subgroup if they are part of one condition or another. E.g. if an employee is part of Gauteng branch managers, **Or** if they are part of Limpopo branch managers they will be included. This also implies that employees from both groups will be included. There is no limit on the number of OR conditions that can be added.
