If
This Automation Manager object provides the ability to test an output variable from another object and continue execution if the test is positive. An object (or objects) is placed within the If object and it is executed when the test evaluates to true.
The If object will only log something when the test is positive, avoiding unnecessary logging that can make it difficult to trace what the Automation Manager Policy is doing.
