You should be able to do it by creating one mapping for all categories and another for just the single category. Set the Level of the single category at a lower value than that of the global one. If it hits, it will go there. Rick On Thu, Apr 15, 2010 at 7:25 AM, Rudolf Schwarzkopf

Drew, TR is implied as the current transaction value, and does not need to be explicitly mentioned. DB is not implied, and must be specified for consistent behavior. So the better Run If qual would be 'AssignedToTech' != 'DB.AssignedToTech' Rick On Wed, Apr 14, 2010 at 1:27 PM, Drew Shuller
