While searching for objects in the Access Manager module the following logic operators are available:

1. Logic AND.
2. Logic OR.

Search rules will be combined on the following way:

(Rule11 OR Rule12 OR ... OR Rule 1N) AND
(Rule21 OR Rule22 OR ...Rule 2M) AND
...
(Rule K1 OR Rule K2 OR ... OR Rule KL)

Where N, M, K, L –some integer number.

Search rules combined by OR operator are displaying in one string. Search rules combined by AND operator are displaying one over the other.

To add the search rule, do the following:
