    The rules are TCL code. There are some GUI options available to create the TCL code for you in "simple" mode. In "advanced" mode, you can edit or view the TCL code. If the branch evaluates to True (1), then it is followed. If no branches evaluate to True, the Fallback branch is followed. Think of it sort of like a scripting language where you have all user's data (session variables) available to work with.

     

    Please review the manual about this topic:

    That's from an older version, but branch rules are the same in all versions. It's why APM is so flexible.
