How can you create the effect of parentheses when specifying filtering conditions in the query editor?

Creating the effect of parentheses in the query editor of Adobe Campaign Classic allows users to structure complex filtering conditions that dictate how data is retrieved or processed. When specifying filtering conditions, combining expressions with OR has the capability to effectively group conditions together, similar to how parentheses function in mathematical expressions.

When multiple conditions are combined using OR, it signifies that if any of the specified conditions are true, the overall expression will evaluate as true. This is analogous to enclosing conditions in parentheses, where the logic dictates that all truths within those parentheses contribute to the final outcome. Therefore, by combining expressions with OR, it is possible to create a layered filtering mechanism, allowing for greater flexibility in querying data.

On the other hand, separating expressions with a comma typically indicates a simple list rather than a grouped condition; combining with AND results in all conditions needing to be met simultaneously, which does not replicate the functionality of parentheses. Indenting the expression might improve readability but does not change the logical evaluation of the conditions. Thus, combining expressions with OR is the method that mirrors the intended effect of parentheses in managing more intricate logical relationships in the query editor.
