Select Exclusive edit.
Choose Edit and then Define Start Condition.

Select the method for satisfying the start condition.

When you select OR in the Definition page, the jobnet starts when one of the conditions specified in steps 7 to 9 is satisfied.

When you select AND in the Definition page, the jobnet starts when all the conditions specified in steps 7 to 9 are satisfied.
Click the OK button.

The Define Details - [Start Condition] dialog box closes.

A virtual jobnet for defining the start condition (a jobnet titled .CONDITION) is created and displayed in the tree area.
Click jobnet .CONDITION.
