Step 5

A practical example is explained below:

For example: Customers who have shopped for more than Rs 5000/- or have purchased 2 products of “Levis” brand, will receive a Gift Voucher. So here, there are 2 different conditions. First, on purchase of more than Rs 5000/- customers will receive a gift voucher and, Second, if they purchase more than 2 products from a levis store. So here in the second scenario, “And Block” condition will be used, as the question Gift Voucher is dependent upon the truthness of two questions. First, Brand should be Levis and second, number of product purchased must be more than 2.

As you can see in the image below, “And Block” is defined on two questions “favorite Clothing Brand” and “No. of Item Purchased.”

Once both the answer will match with the condition, the user will get the gift voucher otherwise, they will not be eligible for the voucher.
