Creating an expression [Legacy]

An expressionCommerce: customizable conditions that let users extend the marketing system -- promotions, customer segments, and policies rely on expressions. For example, to set a promotion for 40% off Item X, use Catalog ID for Item X and Reward of 40%. is a condition that lets users extend the marketing system. An expression is XML statements that create custom promotions, customer segments and policies. For example, if you want to set up a promotion to get 40% off Item X, the expression or condition includes Catalog ID for Item X and Reward of 40%.
