Create or Edit Conditional Formatting Rule Dialog

The Create or Edit Conditional Formatting Rule dialog allows you to define or modify rules that apply specific formatting to rows based on property conditions.

The Create/Edit Conditional Formatting Rule dialog serves two purposes. It allows you to create new conditional formatting rules and it also allows you to edit rules that you've previously created.

In both cases, the Create/Edit Conditional Formatting Rule dialog allows you to specify the following:
